Helene Margaret Fenton Willoughby
Virginia Beach - Helene Margaret Fenton Willoughby, second child of Christine and Francis Patrick Fenton, and the wife of the late Ollie Martin Willoughby, was born in Boston, MA and lived the majority of her life in Cabin John, MD, before she moved to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Helene passed away on the 23rd July 2010. Helene graduated from Catholic University with a nursing degree and was a nurse cadet in the Mount Alto Veteran's Hospital during World War II. She went on to work at Saint Elizabeth's Hospital and in private practice in Washington, D.C.
Helene leaves behind seven children: Frank Willoughby and Malcolm and Alisa Willoughby of Monrovia, MD; Michael and Pat Willoughby of River Forest, IL; Maureen and David Murphy of Cabin John, MD; Kathleen Willoughby of Frederick, MD; Mark Willoughby of Milfourd, DE, and Christine and Richard Gray of Virginia Beach, VA.
She is survived by her siblings, John Fenton and his wife, Gloria Anne Herdt and her husband Doug; Pat Cohill, and Gerald T. Fenton.
Helene was a member of Homemakers International, former member of Tiny Wonders Miniature Club and the Tidewater M.I. Hummel Club. She was a good Catholic, an avid doll collector, quilter, dressmaker, and square dancer, and she loved to travel the world. Most of all she loved to be with her 24 grandchildren.
Helene and "Bunt" Willoughby were married for 60 years before his death from cancer last year.
