Helen Pierce
October 18, 2015
Helen Pierce went home to be with her Beloved Holy Family on Sunday. She was born November 9,1919 to Henry and "Netty" Fountain, in Malone, NY. Helen retired from the state Workers Compensation Board as an investigator. She was the first woman to assume that position, a fact of which she was justly proud. She is predeceased by her parents, her brothers: Francis, Luke, Norman, and Little Leo, and her sisters: Luella Brown, Dorothy Cahill, Ruth Marlow, and Marion Casazza. She is survived by her sons, Kenneth "Dale" Pierce and Stephen Pierce; two grandsons: Stephen and Sean; six great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be 9:30 AM Tuesday at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; 927 Park Ave., Syracuse. The family requests no flowers, please. If anyone wishes, please send donations to Samaritan Center, the Unity Kitchens or the food pantry at the Basilica.
