Helen M. Peters
(nee Boguslaw)
Helen M. Peters (nee Boguslaw) died peacefully in her Rehoboth Beach home on Thursday, March 9, 2022.
The daughter of Peter and Anna Boguslaw (nee Swedock) was born in Kulpmont, Pennsylvania, on February 11, 1927.
Ms. Peters lived a full and vital life tending her plants and garden and sharing stories and laughter well into her 90s.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas "Pete" Peters. The couple taught Sunday School together for many years. They are remembered by many persons for their business, Pete and Helen's Baseball Card Shop in downtown Dover in the 1970s and 1980s, the area's first sports memorabilia store.
