Helen and her husband left the Virginia area to explore the southern farm life and so they moved to Windsor, North Carolina and made many friends while there. Helen enjoyed reading the Bible and applied it to her daily life. After moving back to the Virginia area, she enjoyed attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses with her daughter and son-in-law. She had no problems meeting and making new friends because she was loving, kind, affectionate, an encourager (always upbuilding) and available to listen to others. She had a sense of humor, a beautiful smile and a wonderful laugh; she was a woman full of faith, love and wisdom. She leaves to cherish her memory her niece, Susie Todd Edwards and nephew, William S. Todd (Bobbie); many grandchildren, great- grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, many grand nieces, grand nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors.Obituary
