Helen Maris
Residency: 1975
Helen was married to
Henry "Hank" Maris. She died from
medical malpractice. After she had surgery and went
home, she began to feel sickly. It grew worse and
worse, but the doctor could not find out what was
wrong. She was suffering and in agony in spite of pain
medications and her doctor ordered exploratory surgery.
During the surgery it was found that a sponge had been
left in her from the earlier surgery. By then it was
too late and she died from a massive infection.

his wife, Helen, passed
away because of a botched surgery, he was asked by some in
town if he was going to sue. His reply was "I am not a
sewer(sic). My grief and sorrow are not so shallow that
the balm of money will sooth it over."
Yes, he said, "sewer," and spelled it this way. He
added that the pronunciation fit those kind of people
well. We agree with Hank and so do many others! He
took his wife's death quite hard and it took much time
along with the support of many of the townspeople for
him to recover.
