Helen J. Pierre, 81, of Appleton, passed away Saturday, March 21, 2015 at Heartwood Homes in Appleton. Helen Jean Pierre was born on September 10, 1933 in the Town of Deer Creek, in Outagamie County. She was the second of four children born to the late Marian (Smith) and Clarence Young. Helen graduated from Clintonville High School in 1951. She married the love of her life, Everett Pierre, on June 10, 1953 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bear Creek. They spent 60 wonderful loving years together until his death in November of 2013. She was proud of being a full time mother, and loving grandmother. In an age when many women did not work outside of the home, she was also the full time office staff for her husband's insurance agency for many years, both in their home and at the office in the downtown area of Clintonville. She was a woman of many talents. Helen could sew proficiently; she was an excellent cook and loved to bake. A member of the St. Rose Altar Society and Christian Mothers she volunteered for many church activities. She loved to curl in couple's league. She was an avid bridge player and loved a game of cards. Later in life Mom took up ceramics and then oil painting. Her home and the homes of all her family are decorated with her precious works of art. She especially loved painting landscapes, birds, and Christmas ornaments. She enjoyed refinishing furniture. She learned to swim at the age of 50 when her grandchildren were born, to be able to enjoy time in the water with them at their lake home. Until she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease she loved to travel, taking many trips both in this country and abroad with Everett. In retirement she enjoyed several winters in Panama City Beach, FL and the remainder of the year was spent at the Cloverleaf Lakes where she and Dad built their dream home. When her health began to fail, they moved to Appleton to be nearer to family. She was a mentor of faith for all who knew her. She was a woman of grace and good taste.
