Helen W. Braithwaite, beloved wife for 55 years of John J. Braithwaite, died October 11, 2012 after a 6 month illness. She was born in Brockton on September 26, 1933, daughter of Mitchell and Stacia (Szostakowski) Wolski. Graduating from Bridgewater High School in 1951, she went on to earn a teaching degree at Bridgewater State College (1955), and a master’s degree at Boston College.
Helen married the love of her life, Jack Braithwaite, on June 29, 1957. Her greatest legacy was her eight children and 14 grandchildren. Her incredible inner strength helped her endure many things in her lifetime. She always insisted that raising eight children was easy and was very proud of all their accomplishments. Helen took great pride in making sure her children always had opportunities in this world: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, softball coach, high school athletics, and travel. A huge accomplishment was getting the Marshfield Boys Baseball League to allow girls to play.
When her youngest child entered school, Helen returned to her career as an English teacher. With technology changes, she returned to college to learn about computers. With this knowledge, she became one of the first high school computer teachers at Marshfield High School. When her former students acknowledged her, and she didn’t remember their name, she would always say “You must have been a good student – I only remember the bad ones”.
In the early ‘90s, she became an avid cyclist, competing in the Massachusetts and national Senior Olympics. She held the championship in her age group for 10 years in the Massachusetts Senior Games. Her competitive spirit qualified her for the national Senior Olympics in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and Louisiana where she was successful in not only completing her events but also bringing home many medals. In her early retirement years, she cycled across the United States (Marshfield, MA to Marshfield [Coos Bay], OR), Canada, the length of the Mississippi River, and the 100th Meridian in the US. She enjoyed riding with the Bay Area Senior Cyclists. Of significance, she rode her bicycle in all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts.
Devoted to her faith, Helen was a communicant and CCD teacher (Second grade, First Communion class) at St. Christine’s Church.
Helen’s favorite times were with her family. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas when all her children could get together to celebrate. Her loves were her children, grandchildren, cycling, reading and using maps.
She is survived by her husband, Jack, and her children: John, Lowell, MA; Ken (Nancy), Marshfield, MA; Colin (Beth), Franklin, TN; Amy (Skip) Molitor, Walla Walla, WA; Maura (Mike) Carroll, Etters, PA; Regan (Mark) Cromwell, San Antonio, TX; Graeme, Fridley, MN; and Erin (Tim) White, Weymouth, MA. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren – Dasha, Andy, Shannon, Kelsey, Meredith, Denali, Kiana, Ashley, Brittany, Courtney, Hayden, Connor, Cameron, and Corey. In addition, she is survived by many nieces, nephews, an incredible extended family, and friends. Helen (Mom, Babcha), we love you.
Visiting hours will be held at the MacDonald Funeral Home 1755 Ocean St (Rte 139) Marshfield, on Sunday, October 14, from 2-6 PM.

MARSHFIELD HILLS – Lyle H. Pollard passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on October 18th at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. Mr. Pollard was born in1928, in Kimberly, Wisconsin, to Charles and Beata Pollard, and was raised in Appleton, Wisconsin. He attended Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, and U.S. Naval Flight School in Pensacola, Florida and advanced training at NAS Corpus Christi where he received his Navy wings in 1949. He was then commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Mr. Pollard’s first operational assignment was anti-submarine patrol over the North Atlantic out of NAS Norfolk, VA. Highlights of Mr. Pollard’s naval career included: Support of the atomic weapons testing program at Eniwetok Atoll in the South Pacific; Pacific Rim transport and med-evac flights in support of the Korean war; Arctic and European transport operations; and assignment to the U.S. Navy’s Special Air Missions Division, where he served as Chief Pilot for the Secretary of the Navy during the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Administrations. In one noteworthy mission, Mr. Pollard participated in the bookend to “Operation Sunshine,” then considered the most top-secret peacetime naval operation in U.S. history. Under sealed orders, Mr. Pollard led a flight crew in a cover-of-dark mission that retrieved Capt. William Anderson, USS Nautilus, from Thule AFB, Greenland, after Anderson’s historic voyage under the Arctic ice cap to the North Pole in 1958. Lieutenant Pollard and his crew quietly hustled civilian-clad Capt. Anderson – whom the crew mistakenly took for a defecting Soviet agent — back to Washington DC, where the Eisenhower administration triumphantly announced the successful Polar mission in a public relations answer to the Soviet’s Sputnik satellite. In 1965, Mr. Pollard requested transfer to NAS South Weymouth, where he served as Operations Officer. Mr. Pollard later retired from NAS South Weymouth, MA, with the rank of Commander, USNR. He remained an aviation enthusiast throughout his life, even taking the yoke on final approach for a smooth landing in Dayton, Ohio, where he visited the US Air Force Aviation Museum in celebration of his 70th birthday. After completing his naval career, Mr. Pollard actively assisted his wife, Teresa, in raising their ten children, while also managing real estate that he owned. Mr. Pollard was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, camping, boating, gardening, and tending to his many fruit trees. In later years, Mr. Pollard travelled frequently with his wife Teresa to visit children and grandchildren, and enjoyed a 50th wedding anniversary trip to China. Yet above all, he took great pleasure in welcoming visitors to their home in Marshfield Hills, where he especially cherished large holiday gatherings and long summer visits by his seventeen grandchildren. “Papa Lyle” was notorious not only for his pancake breakfasts, but also for adventures fishing at the pond and in the North River, hiking in the woods, and for his great sledding hill. Mr. Pollard was also active in his church at St. Christine’s Parish, Marshfield, MA, serving as an usher. Patient, calm, and with a kindly demeanor, Mr. Pollard will be dearly missed. Mr. Pollard is survived by his wife of 57 years, Teresa Pollard, and by their children, Chuck and Lynna Pollard of Scituate, MA, Kathy Pollard of Orono, ME, Cdr. Stephen and Sue Pollard of Park City, Utah, Mary and Bill Arnold of Norwell, MA, Sally Pollard of Marshfield, MA, Michael Pollard and Jennifer Davis of Hingham, MA, John Pollard and Margaret Kieffer of Arlington, VA, Elizabeth and Brian Davis of Manchester, MA, Ann Pollard of Marshfield, MA, and daughter-in-law Amelia English of Marshfield, MA. As well as by 17 grandchildren: Emily Stouffer, Lucy Pollard, Kallie Pollard, Kelsey Arnold, James Arnold, Anne-Marie Pollard, Calvin Pollard, Fiona Davis, Charlie Davis, Nora Pollard, Addie Pollard, Dylan Davis, Colin Pollard, Conrad Davis, Hope Pollard, Willa Davis, and Perry Pollard. Mr. Pollard is pre-deceased by his son Robert Pollard, of Marshfield MA. Visiting hours will be held from 4-6 pm, Sunday Oct. 21 at MacDonald Funeral Home 1755 Ocean St Marshfield, MA, with services at St. Mary of the Nativity, Scituate, MA, on Monday Oct. 22, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will be in Massachusetts National Cemetery, Bourne, MA, on Tuesday Oct. 23, 10:30 a.m. Contributions in Lyle’s memory may be sent to Cranberry Hospice Patient and Family Fund, 36 Cordage Park Circle, Suite 326, Plymouth, MA, 02360.
