HELEN AZEN: In Loving Memory of Helen Azen (Mimi).

Helen Azen, lovingly known as Mimi by her family and Aunt Helen by countless others, passed away peacefully at the remarkable age of 107, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and unwavering positivity. Her infectious smile warmed the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Born in Pittsburgh, raised in Chicago, she returned to Pittsburgh and soon married Harry Azen to become part of the large Azen family of Azen's Furs & Fashions.

Helen was predeceased by her devoted husband Harry and loving daughter Evelyn Azen Gottlieb. She is survived by her caring daughter, Linda, and four adoring grandchildren: Lauren, Jill, Ethan, and Jordan, as well as nine great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to her heart: Ben, Itai, Aviya, Maya, Hana, Jacques, Gavin, Lisa, and Max.

Throughout her lifetime, Helen nurtured her family with boundless love and wisdom. Her home was a haven of warmth and hospitality, where cherished memories were created around the dinner table. Her positive outlook on life, even in the face of adversity, was a guiding light for her loved ones, instilling in them the importance of hope, kindness, and the enduring power of a smile.
