Helenann Route

Helenann Route, born Helenann Demanovich on September 22, 1949, in St Clair, PA, was a beacon of hope, resilience, and humble love. Her life was a testament to the power of unwavering support and unconditional love. She was a woman who, despite life's ups and downs, always stayed true to her caring nature and her commitment to her family.
