May Helen’s memory be eternal 🙏🙏

It is with much sadness that we share Erasmia’s post about the passing of her beloved sister Helen Ranney on Dec. 24. Helen was a former PAA Board member, an archivist, a long time member of the Magazine’s Editorial Committee and recent recipient of the PAA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023, to name just a few of her impactful roles. She was loved by everyone she met and worked with, including numerous former PAA Presidents who were blessed to work with her. The PAA will miss Helen’s dedication, hard work and passion for all things PAA. Her legacy will last for many generations. We send our deepest condolences to her husband Greg, her sister Erasmia Novotny, along with many nieces, nephews. May her memory be eternal.

From Erasmia:
Heaven gained another Angel today.
My sister Helen Ranney will be remembered for the lives she touched and her unwavering strength. In lieu of flowers a memorial named scholarship with the Pancretan Association will be established in her name to keep her legacy alive for generations to come.

May she rest in peace. + 💕
