Sister Bernadette Helfert says
My prayers and sympathy extend to all who knew and loved Peggy. Peggy and I had a special connection as first cousins as we shared the same. December 14tb
birthday. She and my mom,, Jo Helfert, had great fun working together providing meals in the EH school lunch program. A spirited woman to know! May she rest in peace.
Barbara Ekman Knutson says
I am so sorry to hear about your mothers passing. Over the weekend I was telling my husband about the best cinnamon rolls and pizza I had ever had. I said it was Mrs Jean and she was our lunch lady in East Helena. When she put either of those things on the menu the entire school would walk over for lunch! For me and the other lucky kids that got to enjoy her cooking while growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s know what I am talking about. She was a little lady with a big heart. Sending prayers to you all.
Marcy Arnold says
