Helen was one of the great ones. She never was caught without a great practical joke up her sleeve and never missed an opportunity to make somebody laugh. She tirelessly gave of herself and her talents to our Sweet Adeline organization. She was a charter member of Columbia River Chorus, seamstress of countless costumes, and master of practical jokes. She was one of a kind. I am blessed for the time I had with her.

Helen Braun was a very good friend of mine for meny years. She was a wonderful and gracious "Welcoming Host" to me the first year that I joined the "Columbial River Sweet Adelines" Helen was the class jokester in Sweet Ad's., and must have loved acting because she never missed an opportunity to get into some wild costume for any and all events. One of my memories will always be the stories she told of when her and John lived in Hawaii during the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
She and John never had children but her life was nevertheless filled with friends and loved ones and I doubt that she ever had lonely times.Her life was rich and she loved many and was loved by many. RIP my friend.
