Helene Delaney was born on February 17, 1912 in Homestead, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Her parents were Martin F. Delaney and Ellen G. Cullen.

In the 1930 Federal Census of Homestead, Martin DeLaney, a Mercantile Rep. Dept of Penna, and his wife, Ellen, had the following children: Madeline, 20, Martin Jr, 19, Helene, 18, and Rita, 14.

By 1940, Helen [sic] had married Herbert Perry Ramsayer, M. D., born in Ohio. They were living in Manhattan, New York City, and she was employed as a hospital nurse. The census record indicates that in 1935, she had lived in Homestead, Pa., and he had lived in Youngstown, Ohio.

From the list of Pennsylvania Registered Nurses, 1940-1941, published the State Board of Nurse Examiners: "Helene Delancey [sic] Ramsayer, 815 7th St., N. W., Canton, Ohio."

In about 1940, the couple moved to his home area, Canton, Ohio, and Dr. Ramsayer, a graduate of Western Reserve Medical School, went into practice with his brother, Ralph. An article states that he had been a resident physician at hospital in Columbus, Pittsburgh, and New York. During World War II, Dr. Ramsayer served as a Captain.

Helene Ramsayer died on February 9, 1977 in Alliance, Stark County, Ohio. Her husband died in April 1990.
