Helen M. (Miller) Pyrek
May 27, 1927 – September 29. 2024
Helen M. Pyrek, 97, of Bad Axe, formerly of Gagetown, has fallen to sleep in the 
peace of Christ on Sunday, September 29, 2024 in Huron County Medical Care 
Facility.  August and Magdaline (Polega) Miller welcomed Helen into this world, 
as a homebirth, in Rapson on May 27, 1927.  As a young lady, she was united in 
holy matrimony to Felix Murawski on May 4, 1946 in St. Joseph Catholic Church in 
Rapson.  Together they lived in Port Austin and Tyre prior to relocating to 
Gagetown in 1969.  Felix died December 28, 1977.  Helen married Isadore Pyrek on 
August 16, 1982 in St. Agatha Catholic Church, Gagetown.  He died November 4, 
1985. 

Helen believed in hard work and it was evident throughout her home. She worked 
for General Cable in Cass City.  Helen retired after eighteen years, she then 
started a new venture with Gagetown Manor and cleaned many houses throughout 
town.  Her service included cleaning St. Agatha Catholic Church for thirteen 
years and laundering lines for seventeen years.  Helen’s joy came in cultivating 
her gardens and canning her crops. 

Gagetown is where Helen found her church home, becoming a faithful member of Our 
Lady Consolata Catholic Church, Gagetown.  For many years she remained actively 
involved with the women’s society assisting all funeral dinners and church 
functions.  Helen also loved playing cards and baking cookies, but most of all 
she LOVED her Polka music and Polka dancing!!
