Helen was a member of Ridgeview Baptist Church where she was active in several church related groups. She was a Danville High School graduate. Helen and her husband, Kyle owned and operated Midwest Stamp and Printing that began in 1959. After the closing of the business in 1997, Helen went on to work at Wal-Mart in the Optical Department for 14 years until her retirement at the age of 91. (She was the little lady that cleaned eyeglasses.) In her free time she enjoyed quilting, crocheting, embroidery work, crossword and jigsaw puzzles. In her younger years, she volunteered at the Center for Childrens Services, Meals on Wheels, and many other places. Her children and grandchildren were her life, and she enjoyed attending their various school programs and sporting events. Helen became a Christian at a young age, and her faith was very important to her. Her legacy lives on in her children and her grandchildren who will forever remember her gentle spirit.
