A religious woman, she loved to read the Bible and
different health tips. She is surely in heaven. Helen
and Richard moved to Eastern Tennessee in 2005 and loved
the Smokies where they have made many lasting friends.
She was a proud and good mother, wife and friend. She
will be missed by many. Her wish was to be cremated, so
at this time there will be no services but a
"Celebration of Her Life" will be held at a later date.
