Born in St Louis, MO, Helen spent her early life in St Mary's orphanage. Her mother, Lucille Blake (nee Smith) died at age 41 leaving behind 9 children. Helen married Aquilino Banayat (second husband) and raised a family with him in San Francisco, CA. Her children were Alex and Catherine (Rillera); Esther, Cecelia (Soy), Carmen, and Peter (Banayat); George and Sheila (Romero). Helen was a loving woman who remembered all her children's, grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's birthdays. She was definitely someone you could not ignore; always eccentric in speech, manners and dress. She was loved by all who knew her.
