Helen E. Flyte
Helen E. Flyte, 79, of Bath, formerly of Pen Argyl, passed away at her home surrounded by love and family on Monday, April 18, 2022. She was the wife of the late Donald R.

Helen worked in the cafeteria at Plainfield Elementary School where her friendly smile greeted students for several years, before retiring.

Helen was a faithful member of Mountain View Wesleyan Church, Point Phillips.
