Janet Helms Obituary

TOGETHER AGAIN Janet Kay Helms, 74, of Akron passed away June 12, 2021. She was born December 21, 1946 in Barberton, Ohio, the daughter of Charles P. and Charlotte A. (Trumphour) Cooper. She shared over 45 years of marriage with her husband, Ronald R. Helms. Janet was employed at Myers/Akron Mills for over 25 years in accounting. She loved to travel with her family to the Outer Banks every year and enjoyed spending time with, and cooking for, their friends. She also enjoyed traveling and spending time with her friends in New York, and dreamed of moving there in her retirement. She was a devoted wife and partner to Ron, nursing him through cancer, and a wonderful mother to her children, no matter what, she was there. Her family was everything to her. To know her was to love her, and the world will be a much dimmer place without her here. She was preceded in death by her father, Charles and mother, Charlotte Cooper; brothers, Louis LiCause, Lee Cooper, and David Cooper; sisters, Mary Ella Cooper and Phyliss Masters; and husband, Ronald R. Helms. She is survived by daughter, Audra Baker; son, Ryan (Brianne) Helms; grandsons, Justin and Jordan Baker; granddaughter, Madison Helms; great-granddaughter, Jovie Kay Baker; and many close friends who through the years have become family. Thank you to everyone who knew and loved her, be it family, friends, or co-workers for the many kind words and deeds you have shown to us. Memorial Donations may be made In Janet's name to the Justin T. Rogers Hospice Care Center, 3358 Ridgewood Road, Akron, OH 44333.
