Helen was born on May 13, 1933, in Grantsville, UT to Claude and Emma Stromberg Sutton. She was the sixth of seven children. She graduated from Grantsville High School in 1951 and received a bachelor’s degree in home economics with a teaching certificate from Brigham Young University (Go Cougs!).

Helen loved her family. She was the proud mother of four children – Colin, Susan, Patrick, and Boni; a devoted grandmother to 16 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. You could always find her playing board games or watching movies with her grandchildren. She was a fan of the ballet, the symphony, and theater.
