Helen had a vibrant and Jesus loving soul. She married her husband, L.C., on June 22, 1955 in Palestine, TX and they were married for 43 blissful years. Spending time with her family was her greatest joy. Helen was an active member of Bois D'Arc Baptist church and could be found on the second pew any time the doors were open. She led the Bois D'Arc G.A. (Girl's in Action) group for many years and loved watching the girls grow in her example.
Helen, along with her family, wanted to acknowledge and thank Sue Kelley for being a true friend and caretaker over the past few months. Your love and friendship meant more than we can ever express.
