Helen Wise

Schoharie – Helen Wise, 95, of State Route 30, died peacefully on Friday, February 16, 2018, in the warmth of her own home.

Helen was born in Duanesburg on February 22, 1922 to Mary (Townsend) and Moore Maconaghy.

Her devotion to her home, family and faith saw Helen assisting her husband, Raymond, whom she married on July 13, 1940, in the actual building of their home together, raising a family and enjoying quiet moments reading, crocheting and sewing.

She volunteered with the Auxiliary at Cobleskill Regional Hospital and was a member of the Quaker Street Bible Church, strong, passionate and devoted to her faith and love of God.

Raymond predeceased her on February 6, 1986, and along with other family members and friends, joyously welcomed her home to Heaven.
