These 50 years have been a great adventure. In 1965, I
graduated from the University of Arizona with a BS in Nursing.
While at UA, I was treasurer of my sorority, AOPi.
I have been married to the love of my life, (Rev) David Helmke
for 42+ years. We have been active in church and ministry.
We have been blessed with our son, Matthew, our
daughter-in-law, Heather, and three wonderful grandchildren:
Saralyn, Sedona, and Philip.
I have worked as a Registered Nurse in Pediatrics, ICU, and
telemetry, but the biggest and longest love was babies. I spent
the majority years as a Neonatal Special Care Nurse (RNC). I
also coordinated the Perinatal Bereavement Care Program at
my hospital for almost 20 years.
I retired 2 years ago when our son and his family moved back to
the States after living and working in Northern Africa for 7 years.
We were able to travel overseas to visit them, but it's so much
greater to have them close so we can see them any time we
want. They have settled in Tucson. We are thinking about
moving back to Tucson sometime in the future.
