Mrs. Helen B Blumel's Obituary
Blumel, Helen B., 84, of Land O' Lakes, left us on Saturday (March 20, 2010). She moved to St. Petersburg in 1965 from her native St. Paul, MN and moved to Land O' Lakes in 2007. Helen retired from Neighborly Senior Services of St. Petersburg where she worked as a Data Processing Specialist. She loved plants and animals, especially cats. Helen enjoyed sewing, knitting afghans, boating, fishing, reading, traveling (central Canada and much of the US, including Hawaii), and spending time outdoors. Survivors include a sister, Irene Schuna, Bloomington, MN; a daughter, Donna Blumel, St. Petersburg; three sons, Raymond H. Jr., Land O' Lakes, Thomas, Old Town, and Stephen, Fort Myers; three grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations in her name to Gulfside Regional Hospice, New Port Richey, FL (http://www.grhospice.org/contributions.html) or Friends of Strays, St. Petersburg, FL (http://www.friendsofstrays.com/). Helen will rest eternally at Bay Pines Veterans Cemetery with Ray, her husband of 61 years.
