Helen loved being surrounded by Jill’s family. She was so proud how Jill and Tom raised the kids and how well they turned out. She appreciated all the love and help she got from them.

Tina was special to her, reconnecting with her after moving back Battle Creek. Tina was her “go to” girl for sharing things. If you wanted to know what Helen was up to just call Tina, she was the mostly likely to know.

She enjoyed hanging out with her older brother James and all his kids and lots of grandkids .

When she needed a mechanic or fix it man she would call her younger brother Billy. She knew she’d be in good hands. He would tell her what she had to do for a resolution.

One of her favorite memories is when all of the Battle Creek family got to host a trip from George and Cathy from New Mexico. It was a good reunion.

Patty, her younger sister, made a memorable trip to Shipswana flea market. She was in an electric cart and about took out a booth just to look at items for sale.

She loved all her friends and considered them extended family. You knew if you were a friend or not!

Her favorite hymns were Amazing Grace, I’ll fly away and Imagine. She stood by Psalms 23 and 100.

Helen’s wishes were not to have a service. No flowers or sadness. She wanted her family and friends to be happy that she’s now in the hands of the Lord, alongside her mother and husband.

For many, Helen has left this world but for the family and friends that loved her she will remain in our hearts forever. God Bless!
