Walter was fully disabled and by his early 50s was unable to continue working. Helen began working as a nurse’s aide in various nursing homes to help support the family.

Most of her nursing career was spent at the VA Hospital on Beacon Hill and it is there that she served many of the veterans from the Viet Nam War. She dutifully cared for all of her patients, but on occasion would bring one of her six children to visit some of the young vets, mostly to show appreciation for their service. Vivian was truly a quiet trailblazer for independence. She was strong and courageous and was absolutely dedicated to the nursing profession
