Obituary: Helen Holoub Of Brewster

from the Beecher Funeral Home

Helen Holoub was born on May 18, 1925 and was a longtime resident of Brewster, New York. She transitioned peacefully to her final resting place on March 30, 2022 at the age of 96.

Helen was originally from Girardville, PA. She was born to Anna Kropska and John Pidgeon and is predeceased by three brothers and two sisters. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Jim and Dawn DelGreco, daughters Ellen DelGreco and Antoinette Didio and grandson Paul Didio. Sister to Alex, John and Michael Pidgeon; Dorothy Longley and Anne Gregis. Aunt to Kevin and Richard Longley; John, Robert, Dorothy and Francis Gregis; and Mike, Joe and John Pidgeon.

After Helen graduated from Butler Township High School, PA in 1944, she moved to Chicago where she met and married James V. DelGreco on August 16, 1947. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the Bronx, New York where she worked as a seamstress. After having children, they moved to Brewster, New York where she designed the life she loved in a house she loved. Her most memorable traits were care for the earth, communication with God, magical ability to make any plants grow green and colorful and helping through charitable gestures those who surrounded her. No matter what you needed she found a cure. Her unique mannerisms will always hold a special place in our hearts as her journey through life helped each of us learn and grow.

There will be a graveside service at 11 AM on Monday April 4, 2022 at the Milltown Cemetery, Milltown Road, Brewster, New York. As she always gave to several charitable organizations, the family asks that you make donations to the charity of your choice in her honor.

The family wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love, concern and kindness shown throughout her life. We would especially like to thank the staff at Putnam Ridge Nursing Home for the special care given to Mom. May God bless you and keep you.
