Helen and Murray had 29 happy years together; they summered at the beaches and pools of Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay Athletic Club and wintered in Florida. Helen leaves many dear friends at Valley Heights seniors community in Watsonville, where she was affectionately known as "Brooklyn." High among her list of friends is her constant companion, Joe Klein. She will be remembered as a "collector of people," a wizard at assembling picture puzzles, and an outgoing personality who loved and cared for all whom she knew. Helen moved from Brooklyn to Santa Cruz County two years ago to be near her direct family here and in Pleasant Hill, CA. Left East were cousins Paulette and Manny Tropper and cousin Barbara Spencer. Helen is survived by her brother Arthur Dlott and his wife Jo Anne; nephew Richard Dlott M.D. and his wife Rev.
