In memory of Helena Prikryl
Helena Prikryl, age 51, passed away on December 1, 2025, in Loveland, Colorado. Helena was born on January 23, 1974, in Olomouc, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). She wrote, “Nothing is more important in life than the relationships and connections we make with others and the Earth, so we can do the right thing by one another.” She believed that compassion and love are the truest measures of wisdom, that progress means little without morality, and that kindness, offered to all living beings, is felt even when it goes unseen. Helena was happiest when those around her were happy and she believed that a more just world begins with care for others. This blog was created to share some of her writings. Helena is survived by her parents, Jarmila and Ivan; her sister Jana; and her uncle JindÅ™ich. A memorial will be held in the spring 2026, a season of renewal and hope that reflects her lifelong commitment to kindness and compassion.
