Helen (Roselyn) Saffert, SLW
May 29, 1918 - April 5, 2002
Sr. Helen Saffert was born May 29, 1918 in
Blue Earth, MN. She received a BA and an MA from DePaul
University in Chicago, IL.
Helen ministered as an elementary and high
school educator. She was a marvelous administrator of both
elementary and high schools. In the first year of the
Sisters of the Living Word, Helen served on the Leadership Team,
but then went to minister to the senior citizens of St. Boniface
in Sioux City, IA. She spent her last years volunteering
at the Living Word Center in Arlington Heights, IL.
More than 25 years ago when Helen joined
Living Word, she indicated that her goal was to meet the
challenge of living the meaning underlying the title of Sisters
of the Living Word. Without a doubt this resolve was
rooted in the Word who was and is the source of her life.
Helen died April 5, 2002 and is buried in
All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, IL.
