HORNELL – Helen Theresa (DiNardo) Case, passed away peacefully Wednesday evening (July 12, 2023) at her home on Cedar Street.

Born in Hornell, she was a daughter of the late Domenic and Teresa (DiVito) DiNardo. On Sept. 17, 1968 she was married in Batavia, NY to Everett Charles Case, who predeceased her on Aug. 27, 1994 after nearly 26 years of marriage.

Helen was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish and was a communicant of St. Ann’s Church in Hornell. While she was married, Helen and her husband Everett enjoyed traveling. She loved the NY Mets and was probably their number one fan.

She is lovingly survived by her sister, Mary Theresa Cardamone of Hornell; her brother and sister-in-law, Domenic and Janet DiNardo of South Carolina; also many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews as well as several cousins.
