Helena was born and raised in Santa Maria, Azores of Portugal, daughter of the late Antonio and Maria (Figueiredo) Loura. She emigrated to the states and resided in Hudson, MA since 1967. She was employed as an assembler by Data General in Westborough, MA and later NEC located in Boxborough, MA until her retirement. She was a member of Saint Michael Parish in Hudson and also long-time member of the Hudson Portuguese Club.

Helena had so many interests throughout her life but her exquisite way of telling stories, especially her weekly readings to all the family which included poems, prayer verses, reading the Portuguese Newspaper, just to name a few, was a joy to all her family. She always looked forward to the family gathering every Sunday at her home for dinner and usually a few stories to entertain her family. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, writing, crocheting and knitting. For her family and friends and all who knew and loved her, she leaves the memory of a spirited strong personality and the most loving smile, her greatest gift to all of them.
