We bid farewell to a beloved matriarch, a beacon of love, and a true testament to a life well-lived. Helen, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother peacefully passed away at the remarkable age of 100. She entered the gates of Heaven on November 30, 2023, at Heritage Estates in Gering.
Born on August 3, 1923 in Kemmerer, Wyoming to George John and Rosine Julianne Pappas. Helen was raised in Wyoming with her 2 sisters and 1 brother. Her family then relocated to Nebraska where she completed her education. On August 23, 1942 she married the love of her life, Everett Wellington Palser.

As a mother, Helen showered her children with boundless love and guidance. Her nurturing spirit created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and a sense of security. Her love extended beyond her immediate family, embracing everyone she encountered with open arms, creating a vast network of love that will endure forever.
A devout woman of faith, Helen lived by the principles of kindness, forgiveness, and love. Her commitment to her spiritual beliefs was evident in the way she treated others, always with compassion and a gentle spirit.
