Helen M. Powell, 94

On May 20th, 2025, our beloved Helen (Cleary) Powell, passed on into eternity at the age of 94 years.

She was the daughter of the late John and Rose Cleary of Philadelphia and predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Herbert C. Powell of Media, Pennsylvania. She had a brother Jack and is survived by her sister Rosemarie Patrone.

Helen loved to travel and made several trips to Europe; but she enjoyed the seashore in Ocean City, NJ the most where she played Bocci Ball with the neighbors and was often visited on the front porch by passing dogs with a ready dog biscuit. Helen and Herb had four children, Kenneth Powell, Donna Hoffman, Helene Hoffman, and Kevin Powell, as well as seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Helen enjoyed life and was a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

There will be a celebration of life Tuesday June 10, 2025 at Branch Life Church on Pughtown Rd., Spring City at 5:00 PM to all that would like to attend. She will be greatly missed.
