Helen worked many jobs to support her family. She was a jack of all trades. She was an avid seamstress and quilter. She loved giving family members quilts, blankets, and homemade Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls. She made potholders and oven mitts to pass out at the family reunion every year. She enjoyed painting and being creative. Helen loved God and her family and prayed for those in her family often. She always had an open door and made sure to feed or help anyone who entered. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She loved to spoil the kids, sometimes even against their parents’ wishes. She was a very generous giver, a strong woman, and hard worker. Helen loved to whistle while she worked. She loved playing games, especially card games with her family, and was always ready to pick on anyone who was winning…with love, of course. She was fun, silly, and always making those around her laugh, whether she meant to or not. She will be missed tremendously, but we will remember her at every family get together, during every game or card game, and every time we use one of her crafty potholders or comfy blankets.
