Helena L. Serrano, age 65, of Montpelier, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 2, 2026, at her home with her loving family at her side. Helena was born on June 7, 1960, in Owosso, Michigan, the daughter of the late Ernest and Helen (Tessman) Hoose. Helena was a devoted homemaker who lovingly cared for the needs of her family. She especially cherished the time spent providing childcare for her grandchildren, creating special bonds that will be treasured forever. Her family was her pride and joy, and she deeply enjoyed sharing her faith with them. In her quiet moments, Helena found joy in listening to music, crocheting, camping and spending time at the beach.

Surviving Helena are her five children: Yolanda Scott of Montpelier; Eleazar (Lindsey) Serrano of West Unity; Sofia (Joseph) Eich of West Unity; Salomon Serrano of Montpelier; and Rosa Gonzales of Bryan; 18 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and two siblings, Pamela (Cliff) Denter, and Pepe Hoose; and several half siblings.
