Helen Marie Redmond
Helen Marie Redmond, age 84, of Versailles, Ohio, passed away on
February 27, 2013 at 8:15 AM at Versailles Health Care Center in
Versailles, Ohio. She was born on July 29, 1928 in Russia, Ohio, to the
late John & Loretta (Cordonnier) Redmond.
She is survived by her sisters and brother in law, Florence Schwartz of
Versailles, Dorothy Redmond of Versailles, Marie & Jack Eiting of
Portland, Oregon, and Patricia “Pat” Schwartz of Colorado Springs,
Colorado; 24 nieces and nephews and numerous great nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by brothers in law, Robert Schwartz and Herbert Schwartz.
Helen was a member of St. Remy Catholic Church in Russia,
Ohio, and attended Russia High School. Helen’s life was a life filled
with joy and love despite the difficulties and challenges she faced
throughout. Those who knew her well describe her as being true servant
for the Lord. She attended daily Mass every day for 35 years. She loved
nothing more than to pray and talk about Jesus. Helen always tried to
see God in everyone and this showed as she went about her simple and
humble day to day life. Helen truly did “small things with great love”
as Mother Teresa of Calcutta instructed us to do. She also lived out
the gospel of Jesus every day of her life by joyfully serving others.
In doing so Helen lived out what St. Francis of Assisi told us when he
said, “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”
Those of us who knew her will miss her but we also celebrant knowing
that she is finally able to worship Jesus as she always wanted but
could not do here on earth.
There will be a Mass of Christian Burial held on Monday,
March 4, 2013 at 10:30 AM at St. Remy Catholic Church, Russia, Ohio,
with Rev. Fr. Frank Amberger celebrant. Burial will follow in St. Remy
Church Cemetery, Russia, Ohio. Family will receive friends on Sunday,
March 3, 2013 from 5-8 PM at Bailey Zechar Funeral Home, Versailles,
Ohio.
It is the wishes of the family that memorial
contributions be given to State of the Heart Hospice. Condolences for
the family may be expressed through
