Helen Wingard Hill
NEW ORLEANS, La. — A funeral service for Helen Wingard Hill, 36, formerly of Columbia, S.C., will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Columbia, with burial following in Elmwood Cemetery and Gardens, Columbia. Visitation will be Tuesday 7-9 p.m. at Dunbar Funeral Home, Devine Street Chapel, Columbia. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to “Doctors Without Borders” or to the Helen Addison Wingard Scholarship Fund at Columbia College, Columbia.

Ms. Hill died tragically Thursday, January 4, 2007, at her home where she was shot during a house break-in. Born in Columbia May 9, 1970, she was the daughter of Jacob Davis Hill, Jr. and Becky Wingard Hill Lewis. She was reared with her brother, Jacob Davis Hill, III, by her mother and stepfather, Kevin Lewis. She attended Brennen Elementary, Hand Junior High and graduated from Dreher High School and Harvard University. She then trained as an experimental animated filmmaker at California Institute for the Arts. She and her husband, Dr. Paul Gailiunas, a general practitioner, lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for several years before settling in New Orleans.

Helen’s films won prizes at home and abroad. An endearing early film, Mouseholes, honoring her grandfather, A. K. Wingard, after his death, has been especially well received nationally and internationally. Another, Madame Winger Makes a Film, stresses environmentally-protective approaches to film-making. She was a valued teacher, and her widely distributed publication, Recipes for Disaster: A Handcrafted Film Cookbooklet, for experimental animators, was supported by a grant from the Canada Council. She won a Rockefeller Foundation Program for Media Arts grant in 2004 to support the making of a film, The Florestine Collection, about a unique African-American seamstress in New Orleans.

Helen was a gift to all who knew her. Her unbridled optimism and light touch were an oncoming sunrise to all whom she loved, enjoyed and inspired. Her convivial monthly tea parties help to explain the large following of young people in New Orleans who loved her in return and join in mourning her death. Her death was a front page story in the Times-Picayune. Permanent Katrina damage to their home had driven Helen, Paul, Poppy, and Rosie, their pig, to temporary sanctuary in Columbia. But Helen’s love of New Orleans drew them back in the summer of 2006.

Surviving are her husband; son, Francis Pop Gailiunas; her mother and stepfather of Columbia; her brother, Jacob; her sister-in-law, Brett Mirsky Hill; nephew, Wyatt Davis Hill, all of New York, N.Y.; her father of Portland, Maine; a large circle of aunts, uncles, cousins; and a grandmother by marriage. She was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, Albert Kenneth Wingard and Helen Addison Wingard, for whom she was named; and paternal grandparents, Jacob Davis Hill and Theo Gause Hill.
