She was born on June 8, 1929, to Melvin and Marie Louise Floyd. She grew up in Sanford, until her parents both died; then both she and her two younger sisters were placed in the foster care system, moving from one family to another, until they found their loving home with Clyde and Dorothy Page in Hiram.

Helen remained with the Pages until she entered high school, moving to Lowell, Mass., to live with her sister, Ella. She graduated from Lowell High School in 1947. She met Harold Hebert shortly after and they married on July 1, 1948. They made their home in Hollis, where they raised their family.

Helen was a member of the Rebekah’s, Daughters of the Nile, and Eastern Star where she served as Worthy Matron nine times. She was on the Advisory Board for the Rainbow Girls and the treasurer of the Standish Senior Citizens.

Helen loved cooking suppers for the Buxton Masonic Lodge where she shared the chore for years with Betty Townsend, until she passed away, and then with Cindy Plummer, whom she loved dearly. Helen delighted in seeing the men enjoying their meal.
