Helena Freja Ramsay was 17 when she was killed on February 14, 2018, in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A student of British descent, she was in her Holocaust history class when the shooter opened fire. Helena was known for a quiet demeanor and extraordinary kindness and took part in the First Priority Club and Model United Nations.

Helena was one of 17 victims who died in the attack. The shooter, a former student who had been expelled, was arrested shortly afterward and charged with multiple counts related to the massacre. Helena’s family and friends have commemorated her through memorials and initiatives that reflect her interest in kindness and community service.

If anyone knew Helena at school or through her activities and can share memories or information, please contribute.
