Helen O. "Charlie" Benson, 56, of Williamsport, passed away peacefully on February 26, 2024, at UPMC Susquehanna. Born on November 19, 1967, in Williamsport, Helen lived a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Throughout her life, Helen touched the hearts of many through her work as a seamstress at Glamorize and as a custodian for Bubba's Cleaning Service. Her dedication to her craft and her attention to detail shone through in everything she did. Helen's interests were as diverse as they were heartfelt - from her passion for family gatherings, picnics, games, and movie nights to her love for attending Yankee games with Bruce and Bubba.
Helen had a talent for capturing life's most beautiful moments through her photography, showcasing her artistic eye and creativity. Her culinary skills were unmatched, and her meals brought joy and comfort to all who tasted them. She was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support for her family and friends.
Helen is reunited in eternal peace with her parents, Stanley and Fanny Ohnmeiss, her beloved husband of 27 years Bruce, and sister-in-law June Ohnmeiss. She leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will be forever cherished by her daughter Lena Carr of Williamsport; three grandchildren, Adrianna Carr, Abrielle Keyes, and Carson Shipman; brother, Kenneth Ohnmeiss of Muncy; sisters, Vennessa (Jeffery) Huff of Hughesville, and Tammy (Allen) Moyer of Spring Mills, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and grandnieces and nephews.
