What a lovely lady. Always had a huge smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. We were neighbors when the McCoy family lived on Washington Street. I would always go to Puckett's for a hamburger when on leave from the Army. She will truly be missed.

Helen was always a special lady. She always had a smile and was so friendly, but quiet. She was a very hard worker and now she will get the rest she so well deserves with her Jesus and her family. She was very important to our Mother and Sister as they attended Good Shepherd together for many years. Her smile is even brighter now that she has met her Jesus face to face.
