Obituary: Helen Peterson passed away peacefully on 28, 2013 at Living Retirement Community. Helen was born on 17, 1919 to John and Eva Peterson and was raised on the family farm in Woodbine, Iowa. When she was 16, her mother died, leaving Helen to take on increased family responsibilities with her two brothers and younger sister. Because she cut her teeth on The New Deal, Helen viewed education as a debt owed to future generations. When she went to college at Buena Vista University to earn her B.A. in Education, she took her younger sister, Ardith, with her, tagging along to classes. receiving her Masters Degree from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Helen continued to take workshops and classes at Columbia University and the University of Washington throughout her 42-year career in public education. She also taught education courses for Central Washington University. Helen's first teaching job in Ute, Iowa she left her family and came to the northwest in 1948 as an elementary teacher for the Yakima School District. She later served as an elementary principal, and from 1955 until her retirement in 1981, was the district director of Curriculum and Instruction. During her tenure in Yakima, she was instrumental in developing programs to support children and parents, including Head Start, Base, Follow Through, Early Childhood Education, Backyard s, 'parent Festivals, and prenatal classes at Memorial Hospital. Helen is remembered by one of her colleagues as "a strong leader who added a little zest and a boost of laughter to the difficult tasks of prioritizing time and money and making decisions critical to students and staff in the district." As important as was Ms Peterson's contribution to early childhood education, it was only a small part of her total commitment to the improvement of education in the Yakima School District. She was a respected curriculum and instruction leader with policy makers and educators statewide. Dr. Warren Dean Starr, who was superintendent during this time period, said "Yakima School District has the finest manager of its Curriculum and Instruction Department in the State of Washington. In 1980 the Yakima Herald- Republic named Helen "Person of the Year" for her leadership in education and for her service to the community and students and parents of the Yakima School District Throughout her career, Helen fought many fierce battles as an advocate for funding public education; one of her final questions shortly before her death was "Will there be enough money to fund the schools this year?" In retirement, Helen continued her contribution to the profession by serving as an editor of the first Principal's Guide to Crisis Management which went on to become a national model for school crisis intervention. When you live to be 90+, there are many phases to your life and many different interests. An avid reader and photographer, she enjoyed hiking and drives in the Cascades with her dear friend, Nedra Callard, and brought home pictures from good times spent with friends who shared many wonderful years in Kauai and Desert Hot Springs. She learned to grow roses and took this on with a passion. Helen especially enjoyed showing off her beloved Washington State to her sister, brothers, nieces, nephew and their families during coveted summer vacations. This Iowa born girl became a true Washingtonian who remained proud of her deep Midwestern roots. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Donald and Robert Peterson, and sister, Ardith Lapour. She is survived by her nephew, Douglas Peterson (Linda Woodhouse) of Alexandria, Virginia, three nieces, Janis Peterson (Carl Gonser) of San Rafael, CA, Elaine Drake Lake San Marcos, CA, and Linda Walker (Dave) of Jefferson, Iowa, sister-in-law Kay Peterson, San Marcos, CA, and a very large extended family of friends who loved her dearly. Helen wished to extend special love and appreciation to longtime friend Peg Stapleton, for her special care, attention, and generosity during Helen's later years. She also expressed her gratitude to the staff at Living for their kindness, care and support. Helen Peterson made a difference in the lives of children and her community. She cared deeply for her family and circle of friends. She will be deeply missed. Per Helen's request, no services will be held. Memorial contributions may be sent to Children's Village (c/o Memorial Foundation, 2701 Tieton Drive, Yakima 98902) or the Yakima Schools Foundation (6 South 2nd St., Suite 919, Yakima 98901).
