Helen Marie was born April 2, 1931 in Kingston, PA . She is the daughter of the late Thomas B. and the late Helen (Chmielak) McManus.

She was a Professor at Orange County Community College, Middletown, NY for 40 years where she had a positive effect on countless people's lives. She was one of the founding members of Hospice of Orange County. Their family home was directly across the street from St. John's Church where Helen Marie, Patrick, and their children worshipped and were actively involved. Helen Marie was always happy to sit and visit. She cherished her time with family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it was a coffee with Anne, her annual family reunion, or the Christmas Eve display and party for 45 years. Helen Marie enjoyed gardening and trips to Tanglewood for classical music.
