Sarah Anderson Helton

Though I was not the brightest student in Mrs. Helton´s class, she was firm but patient with me. It would be many years before I used what I didn´t know I learned from her lessons both in the Navy, and as a construction professional. I´m sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her dear friends and family.

I am very sorry to hear of Ms. Helton's passing. I was lucky enough to have her as my algebra (II?) teacher at Ravenscroft in the 1980s. Ms. Helton was an EXCELLENT match teacher. She was smart, clear, and stern in the sense that she put enough fear in the minds of the students that discipline was never an issue in her classroom. Oh, if only the other math teachers there were as talented as she was. Sending love to her family, and appreciation for what Ms. Helton contributed to my personal...

I loved math and became a math teacher myself. Thank you for your dedication to your profession, Mrs Helton. Praying for your family

Sara and I overlapped in the Upper School at Ravenscroft School. I came to (teach Spanish) there a few years after she, and retired the year before her. Sara was a lovely person. A fun person with a dry--and at times, self-deprecating-- sense of humor. I always enjoyed her company and considered her a valued colleague. I know she will be missed by her extended family and friends, both present and past!

Rhonda and Steven, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, Sarah was very intelligent, but she also had a wry sense of humor. Indeed, she could see through almost anything! And that made her fun to be with at school. I am sure your mom was glad to be back in Raleigh and near you two. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Helton was my math teacher all through high school. She was the best! I have thought of her often. Im so sorry for your loss.

Extremely nice lady and wonderful teacher.

Mrs. Helton was a great teacher. My time and memories of Ravenscroft will always include Mrs. Helton. She kept us focused and moving forward. God Bless

Oh, how we loved Mrs. Helton!!! While she was strict, she often surprised us with her kindness, smile and laughter! When I think of my days at Ravenscroft, she in always included with fondness. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy upon her death.
