Helena Hale developed her deep bond with the Italian province of Tuscany during the first years of her life. Although the former Helena Menchini was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, shortly after her parents emigrated there from Italy, the death of two of her siblings in Canada made them decide to move back to their ancestral home.
They stayed in the mountain village of San Cassiano di Controni, outside Lucca, for six years, then crossed the Atlantic again, this time settling in Buffalo. Enrolled in St. Michael’s Elementary School, she learned English. She attended Sacred Heart Academy on a scholarship, then studied at the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, becoming a registered nurse.
