Helen Jean Bordewick was born in Buhl, Idaho,
in 1932 to Emil and Hazel Bordewick. Her parents were former owners
of the local newspaper, The Time-News. Helen graduated from
Buhl High School as valedictorian of her class. Her love of education
continued through her life.
Helen received her bachelor’s degree from the University of
Colorado in 1954 and master’s degree in business administration
from Harvard Business School, Cambridge Massachusetts, in 1955.
Because of her career, she lived in several major cities. She lived
in San Francisco as personnel director of I. Magnin and Company;
in Tampa, Florida, as manager of Mass Brothers; in New York as buyer
for Lord & Taylor and Mark Cross, and was personnel director for
J.W. Mayes. At one time, she owned her own boutique in Rhineback,
New York.
In Buhl, her activities included membership in the Tri Delta Sorority.
In addition she was the librarian of the Buhl Mentor Club, of which
her mother had been a founder.
Helen established a scholarship endowment in memory of her mother,
Hazel Kruse Bordewick, before her passing. Initially, Helen made
provisions in her will to fund the endowment with $50,000 and upon
probate of her will, half of the residual. She wanted to honor her
mother’s love of education and her kindness to those who were
less fortunate. Those qualities were also very evident in Helen.
