She leaves her husband of 62 years, James Keyser of Northfield; son James Keyser Jr. of Northfield; daughter Laurie St. Jacques of Arizona; grandchildren Kaidee Keyser of Tilton, Darcey St. Jacques of Arizona, and Devin St. Jacques of Concord; great-grandson Jaymz St. Jacques of Arizona; and many friends and relatives.
Helen was born in Starksboro, Vermont, on Oct. 24, 1941, to Lillian (Smith) Prentice and Winfield (Clayton) Prentice. She is predeceased by her siblings, sister Dorothy Keyser and brothers Winfield, Larry, Edward and Roger Prentice.
Helen graduated from Tilton Northfield High School in 1959. She worked at Tilton Dress Shop in Franklin, then Cormier Hosiery in Franklin and Laconia, then at Merrimack County Nursing Home in Boscawen, retiring as food service supervisor.
She enjoyed her camp up north, and spending time with her grandchildren. She enjoyed playing cards, but hated to lose. She enjoyed a good puzzle and a good dance. She will be sorely missed.
