To Helen’s family,
Helen lived a good life and has earned her rest. You are fortunate to have each other to share memories. Her strength and determination will now be passed on to you. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Susan Colp Barrett
So sorry to hear of your loss…..she was such a “full of life” woman, so involved in community. I would have loved to have known her as a young woman, raising all of you, with all the fun times. So often we only know a person at a certain age, in a certain role, and forget that there are many roles in life and we are privy only to a little part. The part I knew was dynamic, so I can only imagine the younger version was more so. You all have more memories of that part than most of us, so hold on to those, relive them, laugh, take joy, and know it was a life well lived. Hugs!!!

I am sending my sincere condolences to Helen’s family at this time. What a pleasure it was to get to know this woman, listen to her stories and laugh at her honesty. It was a blessing to be known to her as “the girl that does my nails” and to be greeted with a wave and a “hey, I know you!” each day I was at work. She adored her family and those in her life, always talking about memories of years gone by and making sure everyone knew who her children were. I will miss her so very much and am fortunate to have been able to spend time with her over the last four years. Rest peacefully my dear.
Marion and Blair Baxter

So sorry for your loss, she was a lovely lady with a beautiful smile. Hugs to all of you.
Pastor Royce and Alice Getson
To a family deep in loss but held close in love of memory. Helen will be sadly missed at a time where so many would love to visit and remain away from those we care for. Our fondest memories are from recent years but the kindness Helen showed to us was very special. I know Heaven is a greater and more vibrant place with her there. Lean on the Lord and your friends at this time for comfort and peace. May God bless you and keep you.
