Helen P. (Radcliffe) Willison, 90, formerly of Elizabethtown, died peacefully on Monday, July 2, 2018 at Spang Crest, Lebanon, PA.  Born Friday, December 9, 1927 in Ridgeley, West Virginia, she was the daughter of the late Robert A. and Mae (Zembower) Radcliffe.  She was a 1945 graduate of Beall High School, Frostburg, MD.

Her husband, Willliam A. Willison and son, Jerry W. Willison preceded her in death.  She was the last member of her generation of the Willison and Radcliffe Families.  She’s been met with many opened arms welcoming her home.

Helen was a homemaker most of her life, but her love of reading led her to working in her later years at the Elizabethtown Library where she also volunteered her time.  She loved her many friends at Whistle Stop View Apartments and talking to her “adopted son” Mychail in the mornings and being together with her family.  She was also a member of Hempfield Brethren In Christ Church, Lancaster.
