Helen met her husband and high school sweetheart, Bill, when they were teenagers at Shoal Creek Township and spent over 67 wonderful years together. Helen enjoyed spending her free time reading, sewing, journaling, creating photo albums, and watching Westerns and Hallmark movies. She especially enjoyed spending time with family and close friends.
