TREADWELL - Helen Weerheim, a lifelong resident of Treadwell, died on Feb. 24, 2021, at the age of 95.

She was predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years, Howard; sisters, Karen and Doreen; brothers, Lawrence, Ray and Lynn; parents, Wilmer and Gertrude Archibald; son-in-law, Ron Stewart; brother-in-law, Joe Gagnon; and many, many friends.

Helen is survived by her children, Elwood (Salinda) Weerheim, Marlene Stewart, Keith (Karen) Weerheim and Lorna (Brian) Maguire; sister, Marjorie Gagnon; eight grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; many nieces and nephews.

Before her retirement, she worked for Delaware Academy and A.L. Kellogg as district clerk.

She leaves behind a lifetime of wonderful memories, traveling to every state, family reunions, baking chocolate chip cookies, reading, jigsaw puzzles, Upwords, and playing games with her grandchildren and friends.

Known by many as the "Queen of Treadwell," we are blessed to have learned many valuable lessons from her during her 95 years. Among them are the importance of family, every cookie counts, nothing like a good book, always value friendships, and "everyone is welcome here."

Because of restrictions pertaining to COVID-19, a celebration of life will be scheduled during the summer.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Helen Weerheim's memory may be made to the Treadwell Fire Department Emergency Squad, 69 Miller Road, Treadwell, NY 13846.

Arrangements are by the Kenneth L. Bennett Funeral Home, Franklin.
