Helen H. Gondean

Helen H. Gondean, 83, of Herminie, passed away Monday, Feb. 4, 2019, in Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital, Greensburg. She was born Jan. 13, 1936, in Rillton, daughter of the late Harry and Matilda (Arnold) Gondean. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister and brother-in-law, Elsie (Martin) Garcar, and her great-niece, Laurie Burns. Prior to her retirement, Helen was an executive secretary, having worked for West Penn Power Co., in Greensburg. Helen was a member of the Herminie United Methodist Church.
