Helen Carreker Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Helen was born in Dudley, Georgia to the late Clarence E. and Josie Refuse Floyd. She was preceded in death by her husband, James Camp Carreker, her sons, Mike Carreker and Danny Carreker, sister, Dot Floyd Branch (Milton) and brother Phil Floyd (Nancy).
She moved to Macon, GA during the Depression. The family moved into the Bibb Village in East Macon. Helen spent childhood and high school years in the wonderful village community surrounded by extended family and friends. The Village provided her a deep sense of community and has remained a special place in her heart throughout her life. She was a graduate of Miller High School, a devout Christian and a dedicated member of Midway Baptist Church for some 75 years.
Anchored in family, friends, various churches and communities, her family will cherish her memory and celebrate her legacy. Were she writing this Obituary, she would insist that all the attention and recognition be given her descendants!

I am so thankful I got to spend some time with Ms.Carreker recently. She was like a second mother to me. She was always so sweet and loving. She will always be remembered and loved.
