Married William Brooks - Sept. 1950, married Leonard J. Fetsch - Dec. 1976, married Kenneth L. Fisher, Sr. - Oct. 1986. Four children - William Anthony Brooks, Charles Albert Brooks, Norman Allen Brooks, and the late John Adam Brooks.
My mother was quite an intelligent being, with a quick wit and a fabulous sense of humor.
She could play the violin, guitar and piano. Her taste in music was across many spectrums. Her artistic ability applied to oil painting which was 'not to be sniffed at'.
I understand she had her own beauty shop in Baltimore back in the late 1940's/early 1950's simply called "Helen's Beauty Salon".
Her best friend and confidant was her sister Elsie, until her passing in 1985. They were like two peas in a pod. They both were cut from the same thread. I swear they could speak telepathically!
She loved to play the board game Jeopardy, along with watching that and Wheel of Fortune on the television. She also enjoyed a good game of Trivial Pursuit!
Mom worked in the offices of Life Like Products in Hampden in the 1960's; the early 1970's found her working at Roc-Lon Industries. In the late 1970's she worked at the Turk House/University of Maryland Hospital as an Alcoholism Counselor.
After coming to San Francisco in the early 1980's, she went to work at Blue Star Line until returning to Baltimore in 1985.
In October, 1986 she married her sister's widow Kenneth Fisher, Sr. She began to fall ill in February, 1987 and was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer in May. Only one week's worth of radiation treatment was all her heart could handle, and she passed very quickly.
