Helen L. Klakos, 91, of New Cumberland, passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at Stone Pear Pavilion.
Born on August 29, 1932 in Steubenville, she was the daughter of the late Cyrus and Elsie Johnson Martin.
She was also preceded in death by her husband, Edward Klakos, son, David Klakos, sisters, Thelma Kushner, Freda Nagy, and Bessie Lash, and brothers Robert and Wayne Martin.
She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in New Cumberland. Helen enjoyed many different things in life, but her focus and love were centered around her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
