Helen M. McCarthy
(84 years old)
We bid farewell to Helen M. McCarthy (East Moline, Illinois), born in Rock Island, Illinois, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on September 6, 2025 at the age of 84. Helen touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Helen M. McCarthy to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Helen may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
She is survived by: her husband Gerald McCarthy; her sons, Jeffrey McCarthy (Meluzel) and Timmothy McCarthy; and her sister Ida Yano. She is also survived by several nephews, nieces, great-nephews, and great-nieces.
A graveside service will be held on Thursday, September 11th 2025 at 10:30 AM at the Greenview Memorial Gardens (1201 Avenue of the Cities, East Moline, IL 61244).
Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Quad Cities Animal Welfare Center.
