HELEN M. PHILIBIN“Together Again” AUSTINTOWN -
Helen May Philibin passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Dec. 14, 2015. Helen was born Jan. 12, 1922, in Youngstown, the daughter of Emmet and Gladys Clark. She married David l.

Preceding her in death and waiting to greet her are, her parents; husband; infant twin daughters; sisters Betty, Ruth and Nell; and brothers Charles and Richard. Helen’s family would like to thank the staff of The Inn at Christine Valley for their exceptional care and compassion for four years and the staff of the Humility House for their support these past few weeks.
Private family services will be held at the Lane Family Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel on Wednesday, followed by burial at Green Haven Memorial Garden.
