Helen had two early marriages. She had a son from the first and a daughter from the second. In 1952, she married Alf Haaland, and in 1954 at the start of the uranium boom, they moved to Moab, Utah where she lived for 52 years. Alf died in 1968 and she later married Gary (Bud) Adams. They were married for 32 years.

?Helen’s greatest joys were her family, her friends, her pets and working in her yard. She was happiest when she was around people. She didn’t know a stranger. Above all, she loved her Lord, and she was not shy about sharing her faith in Jesus. Her humor made people laugh till the end, in spite of her dementia and declining health.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Gary; both parents; sisters, June Merrill and Marie Tuffs; and daughter-in law, Rosella Billi.

She is survived by her three children, James Billi, Sharon (Roger) Hall, and Martin (Debra) Haaland; six grandchildren, Cheri Robertson, Keith Billi, Jeff Hall, David Hall, Mishelle Brosinski and Kevin Haaland; 13 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 3, 2015 at First Baptist Church, 420 Mivida Drive, in Moab. Interment will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens on Spanish Valley Drive.

Helen’s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the wonderful caregivers at Courtyard Care Center in Fruita and Hope West Hospice. Memorial contributions may be made to Hope West Hospice in her name.
