Helen enjoyed working on the family farm growing up, raising chickens, milking cows, gardening, canning, cooking and above all taking care of her family. After losing most of her vision, she still strived to cook without opening a recipe book, sew and mend by hand, care for her grandchildren, and work as a homemaker. Helen loved to be surrounded by her family at big dinners at the family home. Helen will be forever loved and missed by her family and friends; she was the heart of the family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Ridgemont High School Scholarship Fund.
