Helene Reinhart

Helene E. Reinhart, formerly of Brookfield, Ohio, was taken by the hand of an Angel on Monday, January 7, 2019, while a patient at Sharon Regional Hospital and surrounded by the loving care of her family, following an extended illness. She was 100 years young.

Helene was born September 11, 1918, in Ruckersville, Virginia, a daughter to Cecil D. & Ethel (Herndon) Deane.

During WWII, she worked in a silk factory in Virginia manufacturing parachutes for the troops. After coming to Ohio, she worked in the cafeteria & later on the wire harness assembly line for Packard Electric. Lastly, she had managed the Brookfield Local Schools Cafeteria for years before she retired.

She was a member of the Corner House Christian Church, and the Happy Wanderers, both in Hubbard, Ohio.

In her spare time, she enjoyed staying very active in her church. She was the best cook and baker around, and was especially known for making Christmas cookies for her entire family. In addition, she tended to her garden with more attention than most.
