Helen Cryder Joseph
Helen Cryder Joseph, 91, of Utica, passed away February 27, 2013. She was born March 31, 1921 to the late Earl and Ada Hough Cryder in Hallsville, Ohio.
Helen met her husband Fred Joseph at Ohio State University 4-H where they were students. During WWII, Helen was a home economics teacher and home demonstration agent. When Fred, a Navy pilot, returned from four years on duty, they were married December 1, 1945, beginning 65 years together.

After retirement in 1987, she and Fred enjoyed many wonderful winters camping in Florida. In addition to being a prolific knitter and baker, she was a loving mother to her large family, the joy of her life.
