It is with a really sad heart that I announce here that Helen died earlier today. She turned 101 years old back on November 2nd.
It made me so sad that she did not live long enough to see the staged reading of the play about her life and her art.
If you weren’t able to watch the premiere, you can still view it on YouTube for free for a very limited time. The link is in the post below.

Where did the name La France come from?
Helen was born when World War One ended so her mother gave her the middle name of La France after “Vive La France!”
Thank you. so I’m not related to her by blood. I was born with the last name La France
Helen’s last name is Orr. ❤️
