Helen Hawes Strachan, 81, of North Barre Manor, died on Monday, October 15, 2007, at the Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin, Vermont.
Helen was the mother of Joe's Pond Association member Nancy Buttura, (Mrs. Fella Buttura, 4 Tanglewood Dr., Barre VT 05641). Our sincere condolences to Nancy and her family.
Mrs. Strachan was born in Cambridge, MA., the daughter of Edgar L. and Helen Laird Hawes. In 1945 she joined the Cadet Nurse Corps and was sent to the University of Vermont to study nursing. She later finished her training at Barre City Hospital. She affiliated to the Portland, ME, Children's Hospital and then to Brooklyn, NY, for psychiatric training, receiving her RN in 1948.
She married James Strachan in 1947. In 1962 she moved back to Vermont, working in various nursing positions until her retirement in 1989. She then worked at J.C. Penney and later Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice.
Helen is survived by her children, Bruce Strachan and wife Gail, Nancy Buttura and husband Fella, Robbie Strachan and wife Susan, all of Barre, and J. Douglas Strachan and wife Pamela of Indiana, seven grandchildren and two nieces. Her husband, a sister and a nephew predeceased her.
Her wish was to be interred with her family in Cabot, and that will be sometime next year. There are no calling hours. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Rd., Barre VT 05641.
