Watertown CT Mrs. Helen (DeRobertis) Grossane, age 88, of Cherry Ave, Watertown, died Friday evening at St. Mary's Hospital in Waterbury after an extended illness. She was the widow of Alfred Grossane.
Helen was born on July 10, 1919, in Brooklyn NY, the daughter of the late Gerard and Angela (DiNicola) DeRobertis. She was educated in the New York school system and spent most of her life as a dedicated homemaker and mother. She was active in her home parish, St Mary Gate of Heaven in Queens NY and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Catholic War Veterans and a den mother for the Cub Scouts.

Helen especially loved her son and her role as devoted grandmother to two adoring grandchildren who will sadly miss her.
