Helen G. Baltrukonis
CHESHIRE – Helen G. Baltrukonis, whose early years on the family farm instilled a dedication to hard work and provided a lifetime of material for stories, died Dec. 23, 2020. She was 102. The cause was COVID-19.
Mrs. Baltrukonis was born in Waterbury in 1918 on the last day of September, a phrase she enjoyed using to test listeners’ memories of the number of days in the month. She lived nearly all of her life-well into her 90s-in the house on Marion Road in Cheshire that had been part of the family dairy and produce farm.
Her parents, Joseph and Anna (Motiekonis) Griskauskas, bought the property after emigrating from Lithuania and first settling in Waterbury. The farm continued at the west Cheshire location, roughly the area around what is now Barn Hill Road, until the 1960s.
