Helen McElroy

Mrs. Helen McElroy passed away peacefully at Sun Terrace Rehabilitation Center, Monday evening, April 14. Helen and her husband David were long-time Sun City Center residents, residing mainly in Kings Point. After retiring from Delta Airlines, Helen worked locally as a receptionist at Aston Gardens at the Courtyard. Helen had a long and awarded career with Delta, mainly at ticket counters and arrival gates. She was lauded as a welcome face to weary travelers and was called upon many times to resolve traveler conflicts. Helen retired from Delta Airlines in 2000 after 30 years of service. Helen was a welcoming face for so many residents at Aston Gardens, too. She was recognized several times as Employee of the Month and Year. Helen had been fighting Parkinson's Disease for several years and finally found sanctuary at Sun Terrace Rehabilitation Center in 2013.

She is survived by her husband David; stepsons, Michael and Christopher; and her beautiful granddaughters, Willow and Meadow. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.
