Helen G. McGowan
April 21st, 1928 - November 10th, 2025
Helen G. McGowan, 97, of Coopersburg, formerly of Congers, NY, died on November 10, 2025, at home. Born in Brooklyn, she was the daughter of the late James Gleason and Stella (Robinson) Gleason. In addition to her parents, Helen was predeceased by her daughter, Robin (McGowan) Uhl.
While living in Rockland County, Helen was an active volunteer in her community.
Helen was happiest when surrounded by her granddaughters and great-grandchildren, and she was blessed to enjoy time with her great-great-grandchildren as well. She loved dinners out and traveling with her friends. She also enjoyed her puzzle books—there wasn’t a New York Times crossword she couldn’t complete.
She is survived by her granddaughters, Meegan (Uhl) Dorsey and Mara (Uhl) Ryan; her son-in-law, Terry Uhl; her great-grandchildren, Hunter [Leah] Dorsey, Hanna [Derek] (Dorsey) Dombrowski, Emma Ryan, and Cooper Ryan; and three great-great-grandchildren.
A private graveside service will be held for her family in Haverstraw, NY.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Helen’s name to the Haverstraw Brick Museum or the Congers Civic Association.
Arrangements are under the care of Naugle Funeral & Cremation and T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Homes.
