Helen attended nursing school in Enid and graduated in 1959, beginning a remarkable 59-year career as a registered nurse. She served others with compassion, strength, and quiet grace, making her work not just a profession, but a true reflection of her generous spirit.

Yet her greatest joy was her family. She made it a point to stay closely connected with her grandchildren, often sending daily messages filled with encouragement, humor, and love. She was immensely proud of her children and grandchildren and made sure they always felt her presence in their lives.
Her faith was a steady foundation throughout her life, guiding her with strength and hope. At the beginning of her 88th year, she reflected these words, which capture the essence of her spirit: “My health may fail and my spirit may grow weak, but my God remains the strength of my heart.
He is mine forever.” forever. ” Helen will be remembered for her kindness, her unwavering faith, her love of learning, and the
deep, abiding love she gave so freely to her family. Her legacy lives on in all who knew and loved her.
She is deeply missed, and her memory will remain with us all the days of our lives.
