Obituary of Helen K. Bolt

Helen Loomis Bolt, 96, of Binghamton, NY, passed away peacefully Sunday, September 16, 2018 in Richmond, VA. She was predeceased by her husband, Albert M. Bolt, her parents, George and Helen Loomis, and her sister, Elizabeth Loomis Rounds. Helen worked for many years as a sales associate for J.C. Penney. After retiring, Helen could often be found crocheting, reading, or baking, but her genuine heart for people would draw her to her favorite pastime of enjoying time with family and friends, having coffee with her neighbors on Johnson Road, or having breakfast with a close circle of friends from J.C. Penney. Helen truly treasured those times of sharing stories, memories, and giggles. She is survived by her children who will forever cherish memories of her devotion, love, and laughter: Barbara Bolt Herndon, Richard A. Bolt, Nancy Bolt Kobbe, and Lorie Bolt Nalepa. She is also survived by nine loving grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, as well as three nieces and two nephews. The family sends appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Spivak for the care and friendship that he gave to our parents over the years. In addition, the family sends a special heartfelt thank you to the care providers at Commonwealth Senior Living at Chesterfield for their genuine, loving care. Helen was a longtime member of St. Christopher Church and St. Francis of Assisi Church. A Funeral Mass will be offered at St. Francis of Assisi Church, Chenango Street, Hillcrest, Thursday at 10 a.m. Burial will be in Sylvan Lawn Cemetery, Greene. The family will receive friends at St. Francis Church Thursday from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m.
