Helen played a significant role in my upbringing- she's the one who bagged my 2 white cupcakes with white frosting each time I wandered (was irresistably drawn to) Barbara's. She most always had a smile to share, and gave me space and time to look at EVERYTHING in the bakery case before I finally ordered "the usual." After Barbara's closed I still saw her around town every now and then . I was first attracted by her beautiful white hair always magically styled into sharp waves- like the frosting on a white cupcake. Thank you for all the memories, Ms Spenler, and my love to all who you touched. xoxokkkkkk

I was so sorry to read of Helen's passing. I worked for Clara Harrison @ The Blackstone Salon over 16 years ago and still remember Helen coming in every two weeks for her "finger wave" set. She was such a genuinely kind person. My sincere condolences to Helen's family and friends.
