Helen Marie Bray

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Marie Bray, who peacefully went home on January 8, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on January 25, 1960, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Helen was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, and a treasured presence to all who knew her.

Helen shared nearly 50 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Kevin Bray. Their life together was a true testament to enduring love, faith, and partnership. Together, they created a warm, welcoming home in Fayetteville, Ohio, filled with laughter, comfort, and unwavering support for their family.

She is survived by her husband, Kevin; her son, Chris (Tonia) Bray; her grandchildren, Gage (Annabel) and Cole (Isabella) Bray; and her precious great-grandchildren, Maxwell, Finn, and Penelope Bray. Helen’s love extended far beyond words, and her family was the greatest joy of her life.

Helen had a passion for cooking and loved trying new recipes, always finding happiness in sharing meals with those she loved. She found peace and wonder in the ocean, especially during trips to the Florida Keys, and held a special fondness for sea turtles, which reflected her gentle and nurturing spirit.

Helen’s warmth, kindness, and compassion touched her family in immeasurable ways. Though she will be deeply missed, her love, laughter, and the memories she created will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her most.
