Helen Radoman Sampson, 85, our best friend, wife, aunt and grandmother, passed away the afternoon of April 27, 2016, at St. James Healthcare surrounded by all of her family and friends that she cherished. In her last days, she was kind and light-hearted as always, while entertaining family and friends in her home. Helen was born on August 8, 1930, in Butte, Mont. where she attended school at the Grant School and Butte High School where she was a majorette. She worked at the Montana Theater as an usherette, the American Candy Shop, Sears, Miners Bank, and the Courthouse. She enjoyed chauffeuring her nieces, nephews, and great nieces around town while taking them shopping. In 2009, Helen met and married her true love and Honey, Bob Sampson. Helen and Bob’s marriage blessed the whole family with love, joy, and happiness. These two created a life together where they enjoyed each other’s company and enjoyed their nightly happy hour. Helen had a passion for life, style, fashion, and sass! She showed her family and friends how to love unconditionally and how to live life to the fullest. She enjoyed shopping for the biggest bargains she could find and sharing her great savings with family and friends. Through these bargains, Helen created a lovely and comfortable home for her and Bob, where they entertained family and friends on multiple occasions.
