Helene Primavera Anastasio, of Milmont Park, died on January 12, 2026, at the age of 61. The only child of Pasquale and Frances (nee Rizzio) Primavera, she was born in Philadelphia and moved to Milmont Park in Delaware County with her parents when she was 10. Helene graduated from Cardinal O’Hara High School , class of 1982 and attended Cabrini College before going to work after her father died to help support her mother. She worked for Tri-State Alarm Company and TransUnion Corporation, among others, before illness forced her to retire in 2021. Helene enjoyed classic cars, cooking, baking, and oil painting. After years of battling a long list of illnesses, including liver and end-stage renal disease, her heart finally could not take it anymore and gave out.
Helene is survived by her beloved husband of 38 years, Nick Anastasio; her cherished son, Anthony; her sisters-in-law Linda Hosage (Phillip) and Barbara Nolan (Daniel); her nieces Rebecca Booth (Michael) and Michelle Messick (Brett); and her great-niece Cecelia Booth, as well as many cousins.
