Helgren of Colorado Springs, CO, a sister, Kathryn H Janicak (Dan) of St Marys, GA and Vero Beach, FL, two nieces, Katherine Harris Haight ( David) of Plymouth MN, and Elizabeth Beebe Hampton ( Charles) of St Marys GA , a nephew Stephen Raymond Harris of Fernandina Beach, FL , and grand-niece and nephew, Reagan Elizabeth and Harrison David Haight.
The family will be holding a graveside ceremony at a later date in GA. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Heart Association and Samaritan’s Purse would be appreciated.
