While still in Selby, she and a friend attended a dance in Hayes, where she met her future husband, Ray McQuistion. Ray and Helen wed on Oct. 31, 1954. To this union four children were born. Helen, better known as mom or grandma, took great pride and pleasure in all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always stated her greatest achievement was her family.

      Helen was a rancher’s wife and helped Ray for 52 years on their ranch west of Fort Pierre. Helen was a 50-year member of the Eastern Star and a life-time member of the Pierre United Methodist Church.
