She was also a lifelong learner, always fascinated to discover new things. On Dec. 21, 1992 Helen married the love of her life, Keith, and they enjoyed 25 wonderful years of marriage and adventures together. Keith and Helen shared an appreciation for being outdoors, traveling, mountain biking and hiking the beautiful trails of Park City and camping in the Uintas. She was a devoted mother who loved her children deeply and was very proud of her three sons and the men they have become. She was delighted when two precious daughters and then four precious grandchildren were added to the family, and they brought her immeasurable joy. Like most grandmothers, being with her grandchildren doing almost anything was a favorite activity in recent years. Helen’s life was centered around her devotion to Jesus and she found her greatest fulfillment in the love she gave to and received from those closest to her. Her joyful enthusiasm was contagious, and she was dearly loved by all her family and many friends. She was intentional about her relationships and had a rare gift of treating everyone like they were the most treasured person in the world. Helen had an endearing sense of humor and a childlike spontaneity that often caused her to laugh out loud or skip with joy across a room. When you think of Helen, it is always with her beautiful smile and warm, sparkling eyes. She was a lifelong student of the Bible and an excellent Bible teacher who took great delight and care in sharing God’s Truth with others. Another hallmark of Helen’s life was that she was a loyal and true friend, and a faithful woman of prayer. While she was an excel- lent listener, she was also known by many to be a trusted confidant. She had a gift of consistently and deliberately encouraging people, celebrating them and helping them to see new possibilities and perspectives. She was an asset to the local community and sincerely appreciated the many people she and Keith had developed a relationship with through the Park City Rug Company for over thirty years, as well as the Christian community in the region and beyond. Helen exemplified the closing words of 1 Corinthians 13... “Now abides faith, hope and love, these three, and the greatest of these is love.” If she could tell you anything, it would be to treasure every moment and the things that really matter in life. Helen finished well and will be remembered and deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. A celebration of Helen’s life will be held at Creekside Fellowship in Park City on Tuesday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to a reception before the service, at 6 p.m. at the church. Light refreshments will be served. Green Tips Idle cars are pollution’s workshop RECYCLE UTAH Turning off your car when you’re not moving is not only an easy way to make a big environmental difference, it is also a great way to save money. Here are some reasons to never idle your car: Save gas: All those minutes of idling your car add up to using gas in your tank. In fact, if you idle 12 minutes each day, you’re burning enough gas to drive 24 miles. On average, most Americans idle even more than that, at 16 minutes per day. Protect the planet: For every 10 minutes you don’t idle your car, you’re saving one pound of carbon dioxide from being released into the environment. Kicking your idling habit can help combat the effects of climate change. Better air quality: An idling car emits just as many harmful emissions as a moving car. By not idling, you’re helping to reduce the amount of emissions you put into our air. Improved health: The emissions from idling vehicles are linked to allergies, asthma, heart disease, lung disease, and cancer. This can especially have a nega- tive impact on children. By not idling your car, you’re helping to improve the health of your community. Protect your engine: Not only is idling bad for your health and bad for the planet, it can also damage engine components. Extend the life of your car by turning off your engine. If all of those reasons aren’t enough, keep in mind that both Park City and Summit County have anti-idling ordinances, and Recycle Utah is always an idle free zone. Do yourself and the planet a favor – turn off your car when it’s not moving!
