Helena W. (Webber) Tetreault, age 96, died in her Walpole, Massachusetts home on 
Tuesday, July 8, 2014, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Amherst, 
Massachusetts on February 16, 1918, she was the daughter of the late Thaddeus and 
Rose (McGowan) Webber. She graduated from Murdock High School in Winchendon 
with the class of 1936 and continued her education at the University of 
Massachusetts at Amherst, graduating with the class of 1940, with her B.A. in English. 
She has been a resident of Walpole since 1953, where she was an active member of 
Blessed Scarament Church for over 60 years. 

As a young college graduate, Helena found a job as a teacher. She was employed by 
the Public School System in Williamsburg, MA and later in New London, CT. After 
marrying her husband, Tait, in 1949, she left her career to raise and care for her 
family. After her children got older, she worked for the Walpole Public School System 
as a one to one aide, assisting hearing impaired students for many years. 

Helena had a talent for sewing. She had a small business that she ran out of her home 
on Lewis Avenue making wedding dresses, alterations, as well as doing some 
upholstry work, all to help her children go to college. She was known for her baking 
and as a lifelong learner, she was an avid reader. In her spare time she loved to knit 
and travel. One of her most memorable trips was to Ireland for her 75th birthday. In 
addition, Helena, along side her husband Tait, traveled across the United States, 
Canada, and into Alaska with their pride and joy, Dawn Marie. Family was most 
important to her, she loved to spend time with all of her family, and especially enjoyed 
the summer camping trips to New Hampshire.
