Affectionately known as “Nanny” or “Nanny Goat” to the boys. Helen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother. She was an amazing southern cook and loved spending time with her family. She looked forward to visits from her grands and great-grands. She loved traveling and taking trips to the mountains with her family and friends. You could always find her at a casino. She loved to drive the interstate to visit with her sister Sue. She loved her country music: Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson and Elvis. She loved to dance and cut-up. She loved her flowers. She always kept up with all the family through the visits and phone calls.
