1921 - 2021

Helen G. (Roberts) Sellers was born February 21, 1921 to Thomas Kelly Roberts and Frances (Tucker) Roberts. She is preceded in death by her four sisters, Belva Kimbrel, Margret Sellers, Lennie Morris, and Lois Nolan. She married Walter N. (Dub) Sellers on May 30, 1942 and had four children, Joe Sellers (preceded in death), Charlotte Presley (Jim), Deborah Hench, and Catherine Bender. She is survived by her 6 grandchildren, Russell Presley (Amanda), Karen Lusby Presley, Joe Presley (Kimberly), Scott Presley, Brandi Burrell, Melissa Bender Cazares (Sergio); 12 great grandchildren; and 2 great great-grandchildren.
Helen was born and lived in the Jackson, Mississippi area until she and her family moved to Lodi California in 1961. After the death of her husband Walter (Dub) of 52 years she moved back to Mississippi to be with sisters and oldest daughter.
Helen worked as a switchboard operator during WWII at the telephone company South Central Bell and again at the Mississippi University Medical Center from 1958-1961.  She was housewife in the intervening years.
She was a loved and admired Mother to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and many friends throughout her 100 years. Helen and her family love having fun whether telling stories or traveling.
We are asking in lieu of flowers to donate to hospice or your favorite charity in her honor.
A pavilion service for Helen will be held Saturday, September 4, 2021 at 3:00 PM at Lakewood Memorial Park, 6000 Clinton Blvd, Jackson, Mississippi 39209.
