She was rescued in lifeboat 3 . After the sinking she went to be near her family in New Jersey and there married Axel J. Rosenquist. There are unsubstantiated claims that Mr Rosenquist had been employed on the Carpathia and met Helen during the rescue. Her daughter Esther, born in 1919, was still single at the time of her mother's death but later was Mrs Esther Heinz of Camden, New Jersey. She died in Camden in 1982 at the age of 62.
Descendants still live in that area of New Jersey and in other states.
