She married Henry (Tony) Musty on August 18, 1954. In 1960, Helen graduated from Marvel Hairdressing School in Saskatoon. She began operating her business out of her home doing house calls, especially for  seniors, nursing home residents, and the Ursuline and Elizabethan  sisters. Helen worked in the hairdressing trade from that time until her passing. She also worked in homecare and was always tending to those in need. As well, Helen took an active role in the Catholic Church, serving as a communion minister, usher, and a member of the C.W.L.  In 1961 her daughter Louise was born.  Helen is survived by her daughter, Louise (William)Shipman of Cold Lake, AB; one sister, Alma (Clinton) White of Regina, SK; sister-in-law, Anne Bauml  of Watrous, SK; and by numerous nieces, nephews and their families.
