Born in Long Island, NY to the late William and Ann Bluestone on April 16, 1931, stepdaughter of Bernice Bluestone. Helen moved to Pittsburgh in the late 40's. She was known for her colorful, adventurous, and enthusiastic personality by all who knew her. Helen was devoted to her artistic talents and passion for the Pittsburgh art community for over 50 years through the JCC of Greater Pittsburgh, CCAC, and countless creative engagements where she forged many treasured friendships that endured until her passing. An avid gardener and member of the Garden Club of Monroeville, Helen also enjoyed many years square dancing and traveling the globe with her late partner, Joe, friends, and family. She was a consummate provider of fashion and decorating advice and treasured every opportunity to enjoy time with her loved ones, friends, and neighbors, which kept her perpetually young at heart. Helen's sunny disposition will be missed by many, including her beloved feline companion, Phantom.
