Helen was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church where she was involved in UMW and served as a Sunday school teacher.  She enjoyed gardening, sewing, and Saturday morning coffee with her friends.  She and Jayson enjoyed traveling, wintering in Arizona and Florida, and summer bus tours.  Above all, she enjoyed her grandchildren.
