Obituary of Helen M. Buck

Please share a memory of Helen to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Helen Marie Buck, known affectionately as Helen to all who knew her, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2024, at the age of 69, in Elmira, NY. Born on August 20, 1955, in Hornell, NY the daughter of Calvin and Helen (Wood) Manry. Helen was a beacon of kindness and warmth throughout her life.

After graduating from Haverling High School, Helen dedicated years of service as a housekeeper, a job in which she took great pride and joy. Her work not only brought order and comfort to the homes she cared for but also allowed her to form lasting friendships with those she helped. Helen was a familiar and cherished presence in her community, known for her reliability and gentle spirit.

Helen's life was a testament to the simple joys that create a rich tapestry of memories. She was an avid reader, finding solace and adventure within the pages of countless books. Her love for puzzles and word searches was more than a pastime; it was a reflection of her love for challenges and her sharp mind. Helen's cats were her cherished companions, and the care she bestowed upon them was indicative of her overall nurturing nature.

Her family was the cornerstone of her life. Helen is survived by her loving husband, Douglas R. Buck, and her devoted brother, Gary R. Manry. Together, they shared innumerable moments of laughter, support, and the kind of love that fortifies the soul. Helen's presence in their lives was a source of constant joy and comfort.

In the words of Aesop, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." This quote captures the essence of Helen's philosophy in life. She believed in the power of kindness and lived by that creed every day. Her legacy is one of love, kindness, and the gentle touch that can change the world one heart at a time.

As we bid farewell to Helen Marie Buck, we carry forward the light she has left in our hearts. Her memory will continue to inspire us to live with kindness and to cherish the simple moments that, together, weave the beautiful tapestry of life.

Helen's life will be celebrated in a manner that honors the warmth and love she shared so generously with the world. She will be deeply missed, but the memories she created will be treasured forever by her family, friends, and all who were touched by her kindness. Rest in peace, dear Helen, and may your journey onward be as beautiful as the life you lived.
