Helene Dibblee

Helene Dibblee, age 89, of Dacula, GA, formerly of Buffalo, New York passed away at Peachtree Christian Hospice February 9, 2012 after a long illness. We are especially thankful for the superior medical care provided by Dr. Alice Smith and staff; Dr. Anthony Landis, Dr. Samuel Deutsch, Dr. David Schmidt. She attended State Teachers College with a specialty in business. She retired after a 36 year career with Gerber Baby Products Company. Helene was a long time resident of Decatur, GA. She had a flair for music and was an amateur singer. Another passion she fervently supported was that of animals and her fellow man. Her personal belief was: "We are More Blessed to Give Than to Receive" and she lived by that truism in thought, word and deed. Helene is survived by her loving daughter, Elaine and son-in-law, Bob; grandchildren, David and Melissa, Nancy and Michael in Florida. She is blessed with 6 beautiful great grandchildren, all of whom will cherish fond memories of visits to Disney World, Titusville, Florida and many gatherings and events! In addition, she leaves a nephew, Jimmy, and two nieces, Janice and Jennifer of Buffalo, New York. She will be dearly missed by many close, life-long friends in Atlanta, Buffalo, New York and across the country. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2:00 PM, Saturday, February 18, 2012 at Wages & Sons Gwinnett Chapel with interment immediately following at East Shadowlawn Memorial Gardens, 87 Scenic Hwy, Lawrenceville.
