1927 - 2026
Born and raised in Middletown, Pennsylvania, Helen devoted her life to her family and home. A homemaker at heart, she took immense pride in caring for her house and property. She was especially known for maintaining her acre of lawn, happily riding her mower and tending to her yard well into her 80s.
Above all else, Helen cherished her family. They were the center of her world and brought her the greatest joy throughout her long and meaningful life.
Helen is survived by her beloved daughter, Judy, and her cherished granddaughters, Sherri (Julie), Kristy (Adam), and Meghan (Will). She often proudly shared that Sherri called her every single day for more years than she could remember. She was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, Aiden and Hazel, and was especially proud of Meghan’s accomplishment of becoming a doctor.
She is further survived by her step-grandchildren, Jason (Jenny) and Niki (Brian), and her step-great-grandson, Jack (Kelsi), who became treasured members of her extended family, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Helen was predeceased by her husband, David; her son, Ronald; daughter-in-law, Brenda; son-in-law, Edward Reilly; her parents, Harrison Krepps and Dorothy (Metz) Keller; her brother, Robert Krepps; and her sister, Ruth Sellers.
Her family extends special thanks to the staff of Countryside Healthcare of Milford and especially to her aide, Lilly, who held a special place in Helen’s heart and provided compassionate care during her final years.
Helen will be laid to rest in Middletown, Pennsylvania, beside her beloved husband, David.
Arrangements are under the care of the Ginley Crowley Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, condolences may be expressed through donations to a local animal shelter.
Helen will be remembered for her devotion to family, her hardworking spirit, and the love and care she shared with those around her throughout her remarkable 99 years.
