Helen worked for the State of South Dakota for over 15 years where she made many friends in the workplace and in the community. During her retirement, she found joy working part time for the school lunch program at McKinley Elementary School and has very fond memories of the kids that came through the lunch line. There were plenty of daily hugs and high-fives given to the children she saw. Everyone knew “Grandma Dutt!”
Helen was known for holiday baking, especially her sugar cookies. No one left her home without being offered a homemade treat. She supported her grandchildren as they performed in their sports, fine arts, and other pursuits. Her grandsons and great-grandson were her pride and joy.

In her later years, Helen was blessed by the support and care of family and friends. The door was always open for visitors to stop by and chat.
