Long time Agawam resident, Helen S. Robbins entered eternal rest peacefully on October 24 ,2026 at Harmony House hospice in Chicopee. She was born in West Springfield on December 29,1927 to the late Clyde and Selma Battery. Helen spent her youth and was educated there as well. She was employed by New England Telephone Company for thirty-one years. After retiring, she went on to become the administrative aid for St. Joseph’s Rectory serving as both secretary and bookkeeper. She had a strong work ethic and found great satisfaction in a job well done. Helen’s interests over the years included golfing, bowling, playing cards and bingo. She found great beauty in nature and relished watching the squirrels and birds at her feeders. She was outgoing by nature and looked forward to visiting her friends sharing whatever current events might be taking place. Helen lived a rich and rewarding life.

She also leaves behind two special friends, Kathie Nault and Sabrina Bradway, who brought joy, care, and companionship to Helen over the last several years. She was predeceased by her husband, Frederick Robbins, brothers John Sullivan, Francis Sullivan, and sister Mary (Sullivan) Stephens.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Baystate Hospice and especially the caregivers at Harmony House and the staff and residents at Heritage Woods Senior Living where she was treated like family for the past three years.
