Helena Harlow Cochran

Helena Harlow Cochran, age 2, passed away on January 8, 2026, at her home in Waco, Texas, and is now resting peacefully in the loving arms of Jesus. She was born on May 4, 2023, in Denton, Texas, and was the cherished daughter of Christian Michael Reid and Taryn Alexandra Cochran.

Though small in stature, Helena possessed a mighty spirit and a personality far larger than her years. She was a joyful, spirited little girl who loved deeply, laughed freely, and played with her whole heart. Helena brought light wherever she went and left an indelible mark on everyone blessed to know her. At bedtime, she found comfort with her beloved Minnie Mouse stuffie, a treasured companion that brought her peace. A precious child of God, Helena was dearly loved and will forever be remembered for the joy she shared so effortlessly.

She was preceded in death by her father, Chris Reid.

Those left to cherish her memory include her mother and stepfather, Taryn Cochran and Eric Archer of Sanger; her sister, Soryn Layne Archer of Sanger; her uncles, Koby Cochran and Cooper Cochran of Sanger, and Tavish Cochran and Charlie Cochran of Cross Roads; her maternal grandparents, Kristine Cochran of Sanger and Shawn and Lindsay Cochran of Cross Roads; her paternal grandfather, Michael Reid of Fort Worth; her maternal great-grandparents, Kim and Bryan Howard of Sanger; and Deb Newberry of Denton, and her paternal great-grandparents, Felicia and Ed Farmer of Pottsboro.

Graveside services for Helena will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at Bolivar Cemetery, with Grant Bowles officiating.

Services are entrusted to Coker Funeral Home of Sanger. Condolences may be shared with the Cochran family at www.cokerfuneralhome.com
