About Helen B. Miller

Helen B. Miller, B.A. 1940 Business Administration, grew up in Willow Creek, Montana and worked at MSU's Hamilton Hall, then a women's dormitory, to pay room, board, and tuition. After college she and her husband ran a dry goods store in Drummond and it was there that she was approached in 1965 by Dennis Washington to work as a bookkeeper for his new construction business. Helen became the second employee of Washington Construction and is still at work today managing daily affairs within Washington Corporations.

Helen has been recognized as a Montana businesswoman exemplifying many high ideals of The Washington Companies: absolute integrity, honesty, thoroughness, and an unfailing work ethic. Her ability to see the lighter side of any situation and her cheery humor brighten any room.
