Helen Mary Ryan-Chipman

Helen Mary Ryan-Chipman, 59, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2014 in Euless, TX after a brief illness. She was born on November 19, 1954 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Helen enjoyed all types of entertainment especially music and dancing. She had an incredible sense of humor making us laugh to tears with her colorful descriptions and stories. Helen attended the University of Minnesota and had an amazing memory with perfect recall of events. Helen worked for Dillard's for over 25 years and was an award winning salesperson in women's fashion. She was preceded in death by her father Martin C. Ryan. Helen leaves behind her mother Audra Ryan; her sister Mary Lou Ryan; aunts Betty McPherson Lila McPherson; and numerous cousins, friends and co-workers. "Sweet and Beautiful" is how she was described by those that knew her. Our time with her was cut too short. We have our great memories and our faith in God that she is now in comfort and has perfect happiness in joining our departed family members. We will miss you always. Rest well until we are together again. The family will celebrate Helens life with a private Mass in her memory at Christ the King Church.
