WINDSOR – Helen L. Hoad, 71, died Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024, in the comfort of her home where she resided for more than 40 years and raised three children with her husband Steve.

Helen was happy until her last breath. Her passing, though sudden, was without suffering or pain.

Her life’s work was always hands on with individuals; at Pineland in New Gloucester, Uplift in Gardiner, and Augusta Mental Health she was an aid and support person. In 1993 Helen graduated from the Downeast School of Massage and fulfilled her dream of serving clients with love, healing hands and care as a certified massage therapist until August 2015 from her office in Augusta and also was proud to offer onsite chair massages at businesses and events whenever possible to bring Massage to those unable to come to her.

Through good times, trials, and illness Helen was fiercely independent. She will be remembered for assisting teaching and learning from friends and family. Helen enjoyed cooking, as did all who tasted it. Her joy for life and love for all filled our home.

Helen was born in Lewiston, on Oct. 13, 1952, to Eliane and Ralph Plante (deceased).

She was preceded by daughter, Emma Hoad, in March of 1983.

Helen’s husband Steve, their son Samuel and daughters, Roseanne and Penelope; grandchildren: Ashton, Scarlett, Emily Hoad and Cameron Foisy are grieving together and sharing fond memories of her caring and loving spirit.

Friends are welcome Friday, January 12, from 4-6 p.m., at Plummer Funeral Home, Windsor Chapel, 983 Ridge Road, Rt. 32, Windsor.
