Helen T. Cromling

Helen T. Cromling died on Tuesday, October 9, surrounded by fond memories of all the wonderful people who made her earth journey a pleasant one. Mom was born in Elyria, Ohio on May 17, 1929 to Anna and Gust Tsarones. She and dad were active members of the Elyria Playmakers where they met. Mom graduated from Elyria High School and Bowling Green State University. She married dad on May 17, 1952. Mom loved her books and worked at the Lyndhurst, Brush High School, and Mayfield Regional Libraries. She also loved baking and DeJohn Funeral Home, where dad worked, was the #1 beneficiary of her goods! Helen was a loving wife, mother, YiaYia, sister, aunt, cousin and friend and she will be missed by all. Mom was a lifelong member of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. She is survived by their daughter, Valerie, Grandsons Christopher Wilson (Emily), Eric Wilson (Victoria) and great-grandchildren, Isabella, Cole and Noah. Mom was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 61 years, Bob, sister Joan Shives, and brothers Anthony, Angelo and James Tsarones. Per mom’s request there will be no services. Private family interment will be held at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Elyria on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at 11 am. Mom resided at Hamlet Hills Atrium in Chagrin Falls, where she was lovingly cared for by the dedicated, wonderful ladies of Hospice of the Western Reserve and Home Instead Senior Care. Any donations to these organizations in mom’s name would be greatly appreciated. With love and fond memories, mom. I hope you and daddy are dancing again.
