Helen E. Martin, 93, of Denver, passed away on Monday, October 1st, 2024, at The Gardens at Stevens. Born in East Cocalico Township, Helen was a daughter of the late Leroy & Lillian (Huyard) Sweigart. She was also the loving wife to Alfred G. Martin until his passing in 1993.
When she was younger, Helen was a waitress at the former Dutchman Diner, then later worked for several years in the deli department for both Triple G Market and Weavers Market. Helen was a longtime member of Muddy Creek Lutheran Church. She was both crafty and caring, and spent time making silk flower arrangements for family and friends. Her social butterfly personality often brought her to the Denver Jam every Friday night, where she danced the night away, socializing, chatting, and going out for a nice breakfast. Her welcoming heart will be deeply missed by all her loved ones.
Helen is survived by four children, Eugene L. (Sandra) Martin of Reading, Dennis R. (Linda) Martin of Ephrata, Katheryn (Roger) Sweigart of Ephrata, & Patricia A. (Dwayne) Shober of Denver; eleven grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; 12 great great-grandchildren; and brother, William (Cheryl) Sweigart of Reamstown. Helen is predeceased by two sons, Alfred L. Martin Jr. & Dale L. Martin; daughter, Faye L. Beaver; two grandchildren; one great-grandchild; three brothers; & longtime companion, Roy Sweigart.
