Helen (Henderson) Parsons

Helen was preceded in death by her son and daughter-in-law Charles and Tari Parsons; two Brothers Herbert Henderson, Enoch Larry Henderson and three Sisters Ann Elizabeth Taylor, Nancy Belcher, Linda Allison.

Those left to survive and morn her loss are her children, Mary Beth Mathews, Valerie Ann Wechtenhiser and her husband Bill, Tammy Sue Parsons, and James Edward Parsons, eleven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. A brother George T Henderson and his wife Jean; three sisters, Connie Henderson, Lydia Henderson, Kim Walker and her husband Tom. Her memory will be cherished by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Helen was a quiet, intelligent, pragmatic and sometimes stubborn but resourceful individual who overcame many obstacles in life but was always joyful and happy when with her family. She was an avid reader and an expert at crossword puzzles, she made the best potato salad and peanut butter cookies her family ever tasted.

Helen’s siblings want to give a heartfelt thank you and endless appreciation to Val and Bill for not only being a loving daughter and son-in-law but for always being her champions and guardians of her safety. Also, a special thank you to Bill’s parents for everything they have done to help care for our sister.

A celebration of life will take place on October 16, 2023 we will gather at the Blue Ridge Funeral Home at 12:30pm and move to the mausoleum for placement of her urn.

In lieu of flowers, Helen would wish for you to donate to The Human Gift Registry of West Virginia or Breast Cancer research.
