Helen has been gone from us for over a year now. I do miss her warm smile and gentle touch. Each time I went to her home I left feeling uplifted by the visit. She will be in my heart always, Jeremy Vipperman

I am so sorry for your loss, I worked at Owens for 23 yrs. My sister Vickie Mullins (passed away in 2006)and Helen were very good friends. They both bowled for the Owens league. I know they will see each other now and maybe comfort each other. Again, we are sorry for your loss.
Doris Spurlock and Marjorie Spurlock (my mother) she worked at Owens also.

In loving memory of a wonderful member of our family. Helen was such a wonderful step grandmother always going out of her way to make us feel special especially at Christmas. Getting older myself she also embraced my children and they have wonderful memories of visiting Papaw Jerry and Juanita and Helen would come over and always take all three kids bowling and share her gifts of kindness and fun with them. She will be very missed.
God bless her now that she has gone on. Love, Jodi and Family
