Helen Ilene Johnston, 84, of Apollo, passed away on Sept. 4, 2024, at Slagle's Personal Care Home in Rural Valley, PA. She was the daughter of the late John and Margaret Rosenberger. Helen was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clyde Johnston, whom she married when she was 19 years old; brothers, Dean Smith and Dan Rosenberger; and sister, Gertrude Brown. Helen leaves behind her son, John (Anne) Johnston; grandchildren, Paula (Bryan) Eckenrode, Heather Yohe, John Johnston, Jr., Tamra (Todd) Colwell, and Tylor Rainey; great-grandchildren, Hunter and Macie Eckenrode, Mason Dosch, and Jesse, Caden, and Lily Colwell; a great-great-grandchild to be born in the springtime; and brother, Jim (Barb) Rosenberger. Helen was a homemaker her whole life and her son meant the world to her. Many holidays were spent at her house for dinner with her grandchildren. Everyone loved her homemade noodles! Helen and Clyde enjoyed going to different casinos together. One of their favorites back in the day was Atlantic City. They enjoyed long car rides and always planned overnight trips, but would end up back at home that very same evening. One of her favorite past times was shopping, and her family called her the Curtain Queen. She would hang them up for a week, decide she didn't like them, then return them for another set. Pap called you home, and you've been asking for your mom and dad. The last five years of living with dementia weren't easy, and you are now at peace; you can now rest. Until we meet again, we love you. All services are private.
