She and her late husband have two sons and two great grandsons. While raising a family, working on the farm, involving herself with charity work, and being an educator, Helen earned a master’s degree. She retired in 1987.
In the 1970’s the Bigelow family expanded to include two girls, Pilar and Eliane, exchange students from Mexico and Brazil. In her many travels to foreign countries, Helen has visited the girls and their families several times. They have visited here in recent years, visiting their numerous friends in North Branch. Through her work as a counselor, Helen placed students in American homes. Both of Pilar’s sons have gone to school in North Branch, as have Eliane’s two daughters.
After fifty years on the farm, Helen now enjoys being involved with her church and playing cards several times a week. This is her first book.
