Helen Sallenbach, passed away surrounded by the love and memories of a family who will miss her dearly. Helen was the beloved daughter of the late John and Aileen Hendricks and sister to Karen Bement. She was a devoted mother to her son, David (Lisa) Sallenbach; a loving grandmother to Alisha (Josh) Schnur and Spencer (Sophia) Sallenbach; and a proud great-grandmother to Austyn, Alivia, and Jaxon. She was also a loving aunt to her nephew, Grant. Helen found joy in the simple things in life. She had a special love for her beloved dog, Zoey, whose companionship brought her so much happiness. She took great pride in her beautifully manicured yard and especially loved decorating it for Christmas each year. Helen was also fortunate to have wonderful neighbors who looked out for her and became cherished friends over the years. Helen loved staying active and especially enjoyed playing pickleball. The friendships she made with her fellow pickleball players which brought her many years of fun and happiness. Even recently when she wasn’t able to be as active, she picked up a new hobby, Mahjong. Helen spent many years working at Fox Photo and CPI, where she formed friendships that extended far beyond the workplace. She treasured those relationships and remained close with many of the friends she made throughout those years. Helen will be remembered for the life she lived, the relationships she treasured, and the many memories she leaves behind. She will be missed by her family, her friends, and all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

I worked with Helen at CPI. I always enjoyed her company. She was funny and quickwitted. I ran into her just a few months ago. And I told her don’t you ever age?!!
Helen was a great lady. Kind, funny with a quick wit and always ready to listen and help with a smile.
May she rest in peace. 🙏
Helen was always concerned about those around her. If you needed to know what was happening in the neighborhood just call Helen. She was a wonderful and special lady. We will miss her dearly. Rest in peace my friend.
I still can’t believe you’re gone from the physical world. I know your spirit will always be with us. I saw you 2 weeks before you left for your next journey and I’m so very happy I did. I will miss our lunches laughs and your kindness and brutal truths. Ha. I hope you are at peace and pain free. Love ya
Helen and I have been friends since our kids were young. It’s so hard to believe she is gone. I enjoyed all the time we shared together running errands, going out to eat or even grabbing a coffee. I will miss her. So sorry for your loss, David.
I first met Helen about four years ago when we took Pickleball lessons. I think we bonded because we were the oldest in the group! She was a good player and so much fun. She will be missed. Rest in peace dear friend.
So sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. Sincere condolences to her family.
Enjoyed working with Helen’s at CPI.
