Helen loved to travel and also leaves behind her best friend and traveling buddy, Barbara Journell. Helen spent a fulfilled life helping others. She was a nurse for many years.

After retirement, she was very active in the Pilot Ruritan Club and the RSVP of Montgomery County. She was a beloved member and pianist of The Little White Church in Terry's Fork for many years.
