Helen McGuirk Obituary

Helen Elizabeth McGuirk (88 years young), a life long resident of Brighton, died peacefully on February 23rd surrounded by loved ones, including family, friends, and the compassionate team at Miriam Boyd Parlin Hospice House. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Elizabeth (nee Wade) and James McGuirk, and her 4 brothers and their wives: James (Rita), Raymond (Helen), William (Helen), Jackie (Mary).  Helen was a doting aunt and a devoted cousin to numerous family members; a loyal friend to many; and a lifelong Boston sports fan.
