On the morning of February 16, 2023, Helen Roush exchanged her mortal life for a heavenly one at the age of 87. She was a long time Pensacola resident who lived in Jacksonville, FL for the last six years.
Helen was born in 1935 to Jim and Esta Sewell in Calhoun County, FL. After graduating high school, she left her rural home at 17 to work with the FBI as a finger print clerk in Washington, D.C.
On March 5, 1955, she married William “Ed” Roush, and was a Navy wife for 21 years. When Ed retired from the Navy, they returned to Pensacola with their three daughters, Sharon, Grace, and Linda. Helen worked with the Pensacola Navy Exchange for many years eventually retiring as Accounting Supervisor. She loved family reunions, thrift shopping, and nature. She was a woman of faith who loved God and strived to do her best in all endeavors and circumstances.
She is survived by her husband, Ed; sister Edna Edens; daughters Sharon Morris, Grace Roush, Linda Roush; son-in-law Allan Morris; grandchildren, Nathan Morris, Matthew Roush, Emma Roush; and many nieces and nephews.
