Helen attended Winchester High School Monroe, North Carolina, Livingstone College, Salisbury, North Carolina and was the Secretary of Sunday School. When she returned home from college, she left Monroe, North Carolina to pursue a new life in New York where she worked at Coney Island Hospital and met her husband, Thomas Salmon, who predeceased her. After his death, she returned home to North Carolina.
