Helen lived to serve the Lord and devoted her life to him until the day He called her to come home. She deeply loved her family and was also devoted to them. Every phone call, visit or correspondence she received from them would bring her such joy. She always had a song in her heart and so much love to share.

She touched the lives of so many people through the years. Everyone who met her was instantly brought to her with her beaming smile and friendly welcome. She never turned anyone away and was always there with a helping hand. Her size may have been small, but her heart was huge and her shoulders carried the load of any burdens that were brought to her. She handled them all with such grace and pride.
