Helen’s Crew Honors Mom’s Legacy

Helen and Scott shared a beautiful life together. They raised two daughters, Jenn and Ashley, building a life full of love and beautiful memories.

Sadly, Helen suffered from chronic lung disease. When the disease progressed, she just wanted to be comfortable. She was admitted to Suncoast Hospice North Pinellas Care Center.

Her room there was anything but gloomy.

During the holiday season, her husband Scott and daughter Ashley filled it with warmth and joy, decorating it with festive cheer to brighten Helen’s days.

“We had the room set up nice,” Scott recalled.

Helen’s health went up and down. But the Suncoast Hospice care team provided continuous support. The care team gave loving support to Helen and her family during an incredibly challenging time. Helen passed away just before Christmas at the age of 72.

The family was inspired to give back to Suncoast Hospice. Ashley shared, “by supporting hospice, we ensure her spirit of compassion and care touches the lives of others. Each contribution helps provide comfort and dignity to someone else’s mom, sister, friend or wife, just as Suncoast Hospice did for our family.”

In memory of Helen, the family organized a team, Helen’s Crew, to walk in the Suncoast Hospice Beach Stroll and has done so each May since her passing.
