She is survived by her 4 children: William D. Boudreaux (Debbie), Judy B. Senior (Wesley), Linda B. Arnold (late, Ricky), and Gary J.

Upon the early death of her mother at the age of 5, Helena was lovingly raised by her aunt and uncle, Willy and Amelia Boudreaux. She was a proud graduate of Romeville High School in Central, LA. Although completing business school and working part-time, her greatest job was being a homemaker, loving wife, and mother. She was actively involved in her children's activities with sports and clubs most often being the "taxi driver". She was a great model to her entire family of Catholic values and prayers. Helena and her husband, Davis, participated in radio rosary for St. Catherine of Siena and was also a member of the SCS Altar Society.
