March 08, 2024

Helen E. Brandt, 97, of Millersville, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 8, 2024 at Mennonite Home Communities, Lancaster. Born in Harrisburg, PA she was the daughter of the late Mathias and Mary (Bubich) Marshall. She was the wife of the late Robert D. “Bob” Brandt who passed away in 2018. She was preceded in death by six siblings – William, Mary, Catherine, Hermina, Richard, and Robert.

Helen was a 1944 graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School. She was employed by Kunzler & Company in Lancaster for many years. Helen was of the Catholic faith and was a founding member of St. Philip’s The Apostle Church in Millersville.

Throughout Helen’s lifetime, animals of all kinds held a special place in her heart. She found much joy in feeding the wildlife that ventured into her yard, and the companionship of the family’s many dachshunds.

Helen is survived by her daughters, Cynthia A. Brandt, Elizabethtown, and Carole Brandt Glatfelter, Lancaster. Also surviving are two grandsons, Matthew R. Glatfelter, husband of Brittany, Wayne, PA, and Daniel T. Glatfelter, Tulsa, OK, and one great grandson, Colin P. Glatfelter.

Hello,
My name is Michelle and I used to be a SW at Mennonite Home where Helen resided. I remember starting my days with Helen in the morning on Eshelman Run. She was most times, the best part of my day. I always remember her smile, and her daughter Carole was so kind. Always bringing in gifts for Helen From Roots on Tuesdays. The world was a better place with Helen in it. So sad to hear of her passing. She I am sure, Is greatly missed.

Helen, or as I used to call her, Helen-hell on wheels, when I worked with her at Mr. Bill’s Seafood,  was a special friend to me. I can attest to the fact that she loved animals! She loved my Schnauzers and I would often walk them over to her house so she could spoil them.
I will miss Helen, have missed Helen so much. She was a very special person, always had a smile for you or something nice to say. There aren’t many people in the world like her. The Lord has received another angel for sure!  
I hope her family doesn’t suffer too much. Helen had a long, wonderful life and she is now reunited with Bob.  Kathy Swisher
