Helen graduated from Austin-East High School (1970). She continued to further her education at Knoxville College & Draughon's Business College. She established her career with Knoxville Community Development Corporation (KCDC) as a Receptionist. After retirement, Helen spent the rest of her days enjoying life. A people's person, she spent time with family & friends. She loved hard. Helen made her entrance known when entering the room, greeting you with a smile, a simple hello, or asking how you are. After relocating to Suffolk, Virginia, Helen made a new family, becoming an honorary member by adoption of Derty Rydaz MC & the community in which she lived (Magnolia Gardens). Helen was always preparing meals, giving rides, making calls, & visiting. She always stayed in touch with family & friends back home (Knoxville). Helen always spoke her mind, which was a reflection of her heart.

She will be missed dearly. Forever & always in our hearts.
