Goshen - Helen Loomis – Benjamin Court
LPN, Eucharistic Minister, Community Savant
Helen Loomis passed peacefully early Wednesday morning on October 18, 2023.
Born in Torrington in 1937, the daughter of Gordon and Irene Benjamin Pepper of Milton, Helen and her older brother, Phillip were raised on the family farm by their mother after their father passed away when Helen was three years old. Helen graduated from Litchfield High School in 1955 after lettering in basketball, field hockey and softball. Her gym teacher, Jean Hunt, is noted to be her biggest role model from high school and beyond. Helen always felt being involved in sports and 4-H saved her life.
Helen graduated from the Yale School of Nursing as an LPN. She was a nurse at Sharon Hospital. She was also the 4-H camp nurse at Warren Woods for years, where she met handsome widower Bob Loomis. Helen and Bob wed in 1964 and in addition to Mark, Bob’s first child, they had three more beautiful children; Sherri, Tim and Steve. Helen continued as the CJR Farm Manager’s wife, continuously working hard. She eventually started her own wall papering business. Today, her work still sticks to the walls of nearly every house and business in Litchfield County. Realizing the kids of Litchfield needed something to do at the Little League field, Helen started selling hot dogs out of the big white truck– it became known that when the white truck pulled in, Little Leaguers started running.

To top it all off, Helen also joined the Marvelous Mothers Field Hockey team as goalie. She never failed to reassure all who listened that those moms were always victorious for years.
A role model for her children who also excelled in sports, in 2002, she was awarded the Outstanding Official Award by CT Field Hockey Association and was inducted into the Litchfield Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2010 was inducted into the Women’s Field Hockey Hall of Fame, Newton, MA at 73 years old.
In 1964 she was awarded the 4-H State Alumni award. In 1984 she was awarded the CT 4-H Leadership Award.

After Bob died she moved to Goshen, which began a wonderful chapter in her life. The Goshen Community and Father Proulx at St. Thomas Church welcomed her with open arms.  She became a Eucharistic Minister and truly enjoyed visiting communicants with communion and one of her jars of jam, weekly.

She was also a lifetime member and past president of the American Legion Post 46 Auxiliary Goshen.

Left to cherish Helen’s memory are her children Mark Loomis(Kathy), Sherri Loomis Waldron, Timothy Loomis(Andrea), grandchildren Sarah Loomis Akers(Zac), Riley Loomis O’Connor(Peter), Max Loomis, Luke Waldron, Marli Waldron, Hunter Loomis, Chase Loomis, and great-grandchildren Micah and Raegan Akers. Helen was predeceased by her husband Robert W. Loomis, son Stephen “Bones” Loomis, brother Phillip Pepper, nephew Gordon Pepper and niece Janice Pepper.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Monday, October 23rd at St. Thomas of Villanova Church in Goshen.
