LEE – Helen Veino, 92, went to be with the Lord June 26, 2011, at Colonial Health Care, Lincoln. She was born Oct. 22, 1918.
She resided at Care Ridge Estates for many years. Her life was filled with many days of enjoyment with her chum, Harold Whitten.

She was considered a legend because of her 14 years in the exercise program. She was a wonderful and caring mother and grandmother.
