She worked at both LSU Medical Center and Tulane Medical School. A lifelong Catholic, Helen was a parishioner of St. Clement of Rome and later St. Agnes.

Helen volunteered as a translator for the the Battered Women's Shelter and as a tutor at Orleans Parish Prison. Due to current restrictions, a private ceremony will be held.
