There she met Charley J. Watts, a man her family had trouble accepting. Beyond not being Catholic, he had been previously married, and to whom a son was born. They were married on Apr. 19, 1936 by a Justice of the Peace in nearby Monett, rather than in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church across the street from where she was born and raised. The couple moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where Helen would work for the Tension Envelope Company for several decades. As she grew older, dementia took over and she spent the last few years in a care facility. No children were born to Helen. - Charley was born Mar. 31, 1904 and died Sept. 4, 1988.
