Helen Pildade, 80, of Fall River and wife of the late Antone Pildade, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 14, 2021 at Charlton Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. Born in Fall River, she was the daughter of the late John Conroy and the late Helen Sheehan.

Prior to her retirement she worked as a bookbinder at the former Elbe File Co. for many years. She loved cooking, crossword puzzles, and shopping. A huge Cowboys fan, she also enjoyed watching wrestling. But most notably, Helen was a loving, strong-willed Irish woman who instilled high morals and practical values in all her children.

She leaves her loving children: Dennis Patrick Pildade of Cranston, Rhode Island, and Debra Marie Pildade of Fall River; her two grandchildren, Briana Jade Gomes and Jonah Antone Pildade; and several nieces and nephews. She was also the grandmother of the late Zoe Ann Pildade.

Her funeral service was held on Monday, June 21st, in our Fall River Chapel followed by her committal at Oak Grove Cemetery.
