Helen was preceded in death by her father, David Hopkins; mother, Martha Wilson Hopkins; and siblings Junior Hopkins, Christine Morrow, and Dorothy Morrow.
Family was the cornerstone of Helen's life.
She is survived by her loving spouse, Ernest Nix, and her devoted daughters and son; Tonya (Barry) Nix , Shelley (Mark) Keaton, Michael (Casey) Nix, and Teresa Adams.

Helen's legacy of love and strength will continue to resonate through her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Helen loved nature and found joy in hummingbirds and the majestic mountains that surrounded her. She embraced her faith with passion, spending countless hours studying the Bible. She enjoyed the fellowship and activities of the church, which provided her with solace and purpose throughout her life.
