HELEN FERNON

Helen Louise Esch Fernon was born in Michigan on February 10, 1920, and passed peacefully in Sun City Center, Florida, on July 20, 2016. Helen was a nurse for many years and told funny stories about how she healed her patients by keeping them laughing. She spent much of her life in Michigan and then relocated to Sun City Center in the mid-1980s. She is survived by her husband, R.C. Fernon, her grandchildren, Theodore and Melina Fernon, and various family members including Julia and Robert Shafer, Clark and Patricia Fernon, and members of the Germond, Bills, Kennedy, Esch, and Aring families. Per her wishes she is to be buried in Beulah, Michigan near Ellsworth Esch. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to C.A.R.E. Animal Shelter in Ruskin, Fla.
