Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Helen Ann Probasco, left this earth into the arms of Jesus in the early hours of March 21st, 2021.

Helen was born to her late father Robert Furr and surviving mother Roberta (Dennis) Borden in 1956. She was 3rd out of 10 children.  Surviving siblings include Bob (Lucy) Furr, Arlene (Tom) Bowyer, Linda (Jerry) Fields, Diana Salazar, June Villinski, Don (Eva) Furr, David (Malou) Furr, Rosemary (Richard) Serie, and Teresa Irwin.

Helen graduated from Benton Central high school in 1974.

Helen married her best friend, Michael Probasco, on June 7th, 1975. Together Helen and Mike have three surviving children Vince (Elizabeth) Probasco, Scott (Fiancée Caitlin) Probasco, and Mary (Nelson) Davis.

Helen cherished and adored spending time with her eleven grandchildren and was mutually loved and adored by them.  Grandchildren include Lilyanne, Savannah, Emma, Raelyn, Gabe, Sam, Tim, Anna, Caleb, Rachel, and Ben.

Helen enjoyed being outdoors. She loved gardening, traveling, fishing, walking on the beach, and spending time with family.  She loved talking with people and had a knack for becoming instant friends with anyone she’d meet, often learning their entire life story within minutes of introducing herself.

Helen worked hard much of her life and only recently retired. She first worked at Pay Less grocery store then as an office administrator at Blessed Sacrament Church, and finally as an office administrator at Bundy McNear insurance in Lafayette, IN.

Helen attended St Ann’s Catholic Church in Lafayette.  Helen was a devout Christian and held tight to her rosary which she prayed regularly for those she loved and those who may have wronged her. Helen will be greatly missed by us all.

 In memory of Helen donations can be sent to the following charities: St. Vincent de Paul, St Mary’s Conference, Food Pantry, 600 St. Mary’s Ave. Frankfort, Indiana 46041 or Caregiver Companion, 612 Wabash Ave. Lafayette, IN 47905 www.caregivercompanion.org

Rosary service will be held at 4:45 pm followed by visitation from 5:00 pm until  8:00 pm on Tuesday, April 6 2021 at Soller- Baker Funeral Home, 400 Twyckenham Blvd. Lafayette.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at St Ann Catholic Church,   612 Wabash Ave. Lafayette.  Burial will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Fowler.

My prayers are with Mike and the family. I met Helen years ago when Mary was in Girl Scouts. She was so genuinely kind and always smiling. I ran into her a while back and she was raving about her kids and grand kids. A special angel is in heaven now. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hands and give you peace.

I still can’t believe you are gone. Seems so unreal still. You were such a kind soul Helen. You left behind a long shadow that will be seen and felt for decades to come. I pray that I can be half the Grammy you were to our shared grand blessings. Rest in His peace. Save a place for us?
