Helen Sage
2023-12-08 2013-01-15Helen McVey...the youngest of 3 sisters in her family. She laughed easily and was very careful to fulfill any task she was given. She got me a weekend job at a carwash on Centinela, LaTijera and La Cienega when we were sophomores at IHS.. We girls would hop into the car when they came out of the washing area and clean the windows and then drive the cars to the pumps for gas up. I think we got 50cents an hour..which was fine with me. Helen was married 4 times and widowed twice. She had 2 children who cared for her in her last days. The daughter called me and thanked me for encouraging Helen to go to our 50 year reunion...she drove down from Grants Pass, Oregon and used all her savings to go to that reunion and said she had the time of her life. She went through the wonderful reunion book that Jackie Johnson put together for us...over and over with her kids....enjoyed it so much.
