Mrs. Helen Sloan Sloan Nordan

A wonderful, caring Mother, Grandmother, Sister, neighbor and friend went to heaven on Sunday night, August 18, 2013. The daughter of George and Maggie Sloan, she is predeceased by husband, St. Clair and siblings Hugh, Mary, Paul, Stella and Buck.

She is survived by daughter, Jean Davis (Patrick Holloway), son, Nick Nordan (Cathy Swords), sister, Hallolee Kirkman (Robert), grandchildren, Vance Nordan (Kim), Monica Roberts, Laura Randich (Shawn), Daniel Nordan (Allison), Richard Davis (Saundra), Scott Davis (Rachel), Jeffrey Davis (Darcie), 12 great-grandchildren and a very special friend, John McDonald and his family.

Born in Apex, NC, her family moved later to the Millbrook community where she graduated from high school, continued her education in secretarial school and met St. Clair. Her career began with Southern Bell and her love as a PBX Operator began. As a charter member of the PBX Club of Raleigh, she established a circle of lifetime, true friendships.

She joined Ephesus Baptist Church in the mid 50’s and loved her Sunday School class friends and enjoyed their visits in her house bound years. Their friendships were precious to her.

She taught us to be giving and put ourselves second in life and make others first. She always looked for the good in everyone and never expected anything in return for her caring deeds. What a legacy!

We thank the caring staff at Woodland Terrace and Doctors Making House Calls for making her last few years so wonderful.

Funeral Service will be held Friday, August 23, 2013 at 2PM in the Mitchell Funeral Home Chapel, 7209 Glenwood Ave. Raleigh, NC 27612. Entombment will follow at Brier Creek Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends Thursday, August 22, 2013 from 6-8PM at Mitchell Funeral Home.
