ST. CLOUD, Florida—Helen Fuller Cradduck Ahart Adams, 86, of St. Cloud, formerly of Shinglehouse, Pa., passed away on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at her grandson’s camp in Shinglehouse, Pa., after a lengthy illness.
The firstborn to Earl & Marguerite Fuller in 1936, Helen was raised in the hills of Northern Pennsylvania along with her sisters Marilynn and Judy. She was part of the first graduating class of Oswayo Valley high school in 1955. She met her soon to be husband Robert “Buddy” Cradduck in Olean, NY with whom she had 5 children with. They ended up in Olney, Maryland where Helen worked as a nurse at Montgomery General Hospital for over 20 years. Her husband Robert unexpectedly passed away in October of 1992.
In 1995 she married David R. Ahart of Phoenix, Arizona. Together, they lived an abundant life of travel, dancing, and spending time with all the grandkids until Dave’s passing in February of 2012.
Helen is survived by her loving husband Paul Adams of Cumberland, MD who she married in 2015 and danced many a night away with over their 8 years together. Additionally, she is survived by her sister Judy Rhodes of Littlestown, PA.; her 5 children, Sidney Cradduck of Mercersburg, PA., Cynthia Cradduck of Frederick, MD., Debra Brown of Damascus, MD., Timothy Cradduck of Lancaster, PA., & Patty Markos of Olney, MD. Lastly, she is survived by her 20 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
She was devoted to her faith in Jesus, and was not shy about it. She loved her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren.
She always made it a point to show up and support her grandchildren, whatever they might be doing! She loved dancing, and thought the divorce rate would greatly decrease if married couples would just dance together more. She was always up for a game of cards and traveled with at least one deck in her purse — and she sure enjoyed winning! Her sense of adventure never waned — even at 82 years old she was floating down the rapids of the Shenandoah River in a tractor inner tube!
She was truly one of a kind, and her absence is already felt so greatly among those close to her. She is and will be so missed in the lives of all who knew and loved her.
Family and friends may call from 10am to 11am on Monday, May 15, 2023, in the Bell Run Union Church, 904 Taylor Brook Road, Shinglehouse, where funeral services will follow at 11am with Pastor Chad E. Shaffer, officiating. Burial will be in Bell Run Cemetery.

Joseph Vincent Letko passed away on April 12, 2023. Joe was born on October 28, 1948, in Minersville, PA, the son of the late Joseph and Josephine Letko, he was the oldest of four siblings. Joe leaves behind the love of his life, Virginia Letko, and his two children, Joseph Letko (his wife, Beth) and Amy Letko (partner, Jason Peduzzi) and 6 grandchildren which were the twinkle in his eye; Joe, Josh, Ryan, and Mack Letko and Storm and Paris Sivak. Joe also leaves behind his sister, Mary Ellen DiRenzo of Pottsville, PA along with numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Joe was preceded in death by his brother, Ronald Letko and sister, Linda Duffy.
Joe loved being a pappy and enjoyed all stages of his grandchildren’s lives. He relished in the opportunity to watch his grandchildren explore and develop their own interests and always loved a good game of war in the back yard. Summers were always a time of exploration and discovery with pappy. The gang would play for hours and then meet by the fire to discuss the winning techniques. Eventually, through the cycle of life, he was more of a spectator and listener.
Joe was a beloved teacher and wrestling coach at Eisenhower High School for more than 30 years. He was truly passionate about teaching and coaching each one of his students, motivating and sculpting each student athlete to be the best they could be. He remembers each of his students he had during his teaching and coaching career and loved to run into them and talk about past memories. He had an unorthodox way of teaching and coaching that was ahead of his time that students will always remember. His loud, booming voice will be heard in the gym and in the hallways of the school for many years.
Joe had a passion for literature. He read, recited, and memorized literary greats such as Wordsworth, Keats and Dickens. Daily quotations were an inspiration in the wrestling room and also family time around the dinner table. He always said, ‘To be happy is to be forever young!”
Joe was never one who liked to sit idle, so after retiring from EHS he started Letko’s Dam Water aulingHauling. …Hauling. Starting with a lime green 1976 firetruck, he was determined to enjoy his retirement, ultimately growing his hobby into a successful business that many people will remember for years to come. Joe loved to catch up with his regular customers and children often loved to come and watch him unload water with his trucks and hoses.
Joe will always be remembered for his positive attitude, his zest for life, outgoing personality, and favorite phrase (C’est La Vie), Such Is Life. Joe’s positive, go get ‘em attitude was infectious and inspiring to anyone who met him. He had the ability to make anyone feel welcome and comfortable. If you knew Joe Letko, you realized he was not a man that needed titles or past accomplishments to be remembered, Joe was simply your friend.

She will be missed, and she will always be with us.”
