Helen Sue Dalzell Obituary

Helen Sue Dalzell, 80, resident of St. Augustine, FL, formerly of Irvington, passed away on April 25, 2017 at home. Helen was born February 5, 1937 in Dobbs Ferry to the late Barney and Mary Murphy Reilly. She was raised and graduated high school in Irvington. After marrying and moving to Ridgefield, CT she became a single parent to her 4 children. Helen started a successful career in banking, becoming a branch manager. She was always loved by her employees and trusted and admired by her customers. After moving back to Irvington she continued raising her children and managing her branch. Helen continued her lifelong faith as a long time parishioner of the Immaculate Conception Church. She also served as a dedicated member of the Irvington Volunteer Ambulance Corps for 37 years. All who knew Helen would tell you she was one of the kindest, friendliest people they ever met. She would always listen to you with a sympathetic and empathetic ear, and give any advice with a warmth and sincerity that led to many referring to her as their "second Mom". Helen is survived by her sisters Mary Roca (George) and Martha Livingston (Richard), her daughter Beth Dalzell Patterson and her sons Robert B. Dalzell and John R. Dalzell, as well as numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and too many good friends to count. Helen was predeceased by her beloved daughter Janice A. Dalzell.
