Helen Visca

Helen Visca's oldest son, Geary, and his wife, Cindy, of Fairlawn will have a May graduation for their son, Justin, from Kent State University.
...
Helen retired from the Kent City Schools last year after 30 years on the job, mostly as the secretary-receptionist for the Board of Education offices.

It is probably a good thing she has retired with four grandchildren graduating in the next couple of months, but she just takes it in stride and even does some substituting at the board office.

Helen is originally from Ravenna, the daughter of Guy and Mary Grace Chionchio.
...
Al also left Twin Coach and became a car inspector for the Erie Railroad and Helen stayed home with the children when they were young.
...
"Al died in 1969 and Kenny Adolph, an officer at Huntington gave me a full-time job," said Helen.
...
This job lasted for seven years and in October 1976 Helen started at the Board of Education office, which then was located on Gougler Avenue.
...
During her 30 years at the board office Helen worked for four different superintendents: Dr. Robert Stanton, Cardinal, Donna Lightel and Marc Crail.
...
Helen retired last July and admits she does miss the job and people.She now volunteers one morning a week at the Robinson Memorial Surgery Center in Kent and is a longtime member of St. Patrick Church in Kent.

She also enjoys taking daily walks in her neighborhood and said she also loved doing her own yard work "until the kids made me stop."

Now she is spending a lot of her time planning for the graduation of four grandchildren this spring and really loves every minute of it.
