She got into it by accident after previously being retired, but she enjoyed cleaning houses for a number of friends, clients, and realtors, as well as cleaning a local office for over 20 years. Her favorite thing to do was to help others. She loved to cook and at her peak, with the help of her husband and grandson, cooked every week to feed as many as 200 people. She was known for her Coconut Cream Cake and Upside Down Pineapple Cake. Helen is survived by her daughters-in-law, Brenda Wynn and Cindy Pittmon; her sons, Rick Wynn and his wife, Carol, and Toban Wynn and his wife, Debbie; 12 grandchildren; and 15 great grandchildren; and numerous family and friends who loved her dearly.
