Mrs. Helen A. (Brown) Giroux, 84, of Milford, MA passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025, surrounded by the love and presence of her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother whose strength, independence and warmth touched everyone who knew her.
A life-long resident of Milford, MA, she was the daughter of the late Arthur Brown and the late Mabel (McNeil) Brown. Helen was a woman of deep passion and determination. Strong-willed and hardworking, she lived life on her own terms, never shying away from challenges. Her love for animals, music, and dancing brought joy not only to her but to those lucky enough to share in those moments with her. Her patience with animals really showed in the connection she developed with her many beloved pets. There wasn't anything she couldn't teach them to do.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 59 years, Clifford K. Giroux; her daughter, MaryAnn Black and her husband James Black; and her cherished grandchildren, Benjamin and Kate. Helen adored her grandchildren and treasured every moment spent with them. She also leaves behind dear friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.
