Helen was 1 of 8 children born to James and Ellen Sullivan Murphy. She was 4 years old when her mother died in 1894. Because of this, Helen was sent to different relatives' homes while she grew up.

The 1900 census lists her name as Helena Murphy, born in January, 1890 in Nebraska. It shows her living with the Dennis and Mary McCarthy family, where it states she is the sister in law of Dennis. The 1910 census shows Helen living with her aunt Johanna and uncle John Mahony in Rulo, Nebraska. She is a school teacher.

On January 8, 1918, Helen married John Patrick Kelly in Denver, Colorado by a Catholic Priest. She became pregnant right away, and had her son on November 8, 1918. Unfortunately, she got sick with the Flu epidemic of 1918, and died weeks after having her baby.

She is buried alone in the same cemetery as her husband, in Section 8, Block 2, Lot 9, in the North Grave South West of that grouping. John remarried, and is buried next to his second wife in 29-6-20-3. His wife is in 29-6-20-4.
