Helen Clark O'Keeffe

Our family lived next door to the O'Keeffes. Jim and Helen were like brother annd sister to me and my sisters as we grew up. My mother repaired Jim"s wounds he got playing footbal for THS. Helen lent me her Monarch Silver king bike when she started driving! We moved away to Kentucky in 1943 and it was sad to leave such close friends.

May god be with the family. I will miss Helen very much see would come to the Food lion where I worked every Thursday and some other days . she would always ask about my girls and if they were keeping me busy. She would always talk to me about Va Tech Football. And she would always give me cheese straws for Christmas I would always give her a Pumpkin roll for christmas, I have hers at the store now I was planning to give to her. I even invited her to my house at Christmas time but see would...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

May the love of God, in which Helen dwells, fill all empty places with resurrection hope.
Bill Olewiler, widower of Mary Baugh Olewiler

I have lost a dear friend ... as a boy I walked passed her home on the way to school ... she always had time time to talk with me. I'm 71 now and I take my mother (who is 93) shopping at the Food Lion and I would see her there and we would sit and talk about our old friends and our animals. I will truly miss those conversations. She was the last original resident of Pine Street. I will unable to attend her service but she will be missed by me and my mother.
