Helen Flack, 73, of Mountain Iron, MN passed away on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 at Essentia Health, St. Mary's Medical Center.

Helen was born on November 5, 1946 to John Murray and Jean Hamilton (McCluskie) in Irvine, Scotland. She attended school in Edinburgh and at the Bank School at New Cumnock, Scotland.

Helen worked as a pediatric nurse in Scotland for 2 years before joining the Women's Royal Air Force on December 17, 1965, attained a rank of Senior Aircraft Woman, and served honorably for four years. Helen met Sonny while stationed at RAF Wildenwrath in West Germany in 1968 where they enjoyed many nights playing cribbage and getting to know each other. She was united in marriage to Morris "Sonny" Flack in New Cumnock, Scotland on November 29, 1969.

Helen and Sonny had an adventurous life, living in many places: Scotland, England, West Germany, and Arizona, before making their way to Cook, MN where they started an Electronic sales, service and repair shop called "Sonny's Electronics". Helen and Sonny retired in 2008 from the shop and moved to Mountain Iron, MN.

Helen enjoyed card making and crossword puzzles. She delighted in word games and had a competitive streak when playing. Helen loved spoiling her dogs, feeding her birds and caring for her yard. She took great joy in baking for her family and they equally enjoyed her cooking. Her favorite pastime was reading; she had over 3,000 books in her nook. Helen appreciated the importance of family and she relished the weekly skype visits she had with her sister in Scotland. Helen loved her husband and family with all her being; she loved being loved and had tons of love to give. She will be dearly missed and forever loved!
