Her faith in the Lord made the transition very peaceful.Helen was born on September 24, 1925, in Trinidad, Colorado. Helen met the love of her life, Roy Raymond Fleming and after a very short engagement they were married on June 5, 1949, in Raton, NM. For their honeymoon, they went to the County 4-H Agent convention in Las Cruses, NM. They lived in many places in NM, going where Roy's work required. Helen was a great help to her husband with 4-H events and gatherings. They had two daughters, Wanda and Nancy. After Roy's retirement they lived in Raton, NM where she took care of her Mom and Dad. She loved Alaska and vacationed there 13 times. So after the deaths of her husband and parents, Helen decided to move to Alaska in 1998 to live with her daughter, where she remained for the rest of her life.Helen and Wanda had many adventurers, including trips to Branson, Mo., Disney World, Boston, Skagway, Sitka and Glacier Bay. She loved traveling to visit family. One of her favorite trips was a voyage through Southeast Alaska waters on the M.V. Empress of the North. Her daughter Nancy and grandchildren came to Alaska many times and Mom thoroughly enjoyed having them here. Many nights they would play Skip-Bo or another game which was enjoyed by all. She loved watching Professional Bull Riding and got to know the names of the riders and the bulls. She even helped enter a name for a bull (Devil's Club), but it was not chosen. She would watch Mariners Baseball and record the scores so that she could tell Wanda when she got home from work.Helen was preceded in death by her beloved husband Roy Raymond Fleming (1980), her father George Marvin Semler (1974), and her mother Myrtle Ollie Semler (1997).
