Helen Lucille Higgins Schewe, 85, of Indian Land, SC, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2024 in Charlotte, NC. Born on September 28, 1938, in Chattanooga, TN, Helen relocated with her family to Pasadena, TX in 1966 where she lived for 56 years, moving to the Carolinas in 2021.
After Helen retired from the State of Texas where she worked in Social Services, she and her late husband relished their membership with the SPJST Fraternal Lodge in Pasadena, TX and the Liederkranz German Club of Houston where they enjoyed many years of their favorite pastime, dancing. Coupled with a hearty sense of humor, Helen lit up a room with her smile, laughter, dancing, and happiness.
A devoted mother, Helen’s love for her children and grandchildren was boundless. Whether she was enjoying watching her favorite sport of baseball or cooking holiday meals, she cherished every moment spent with family.
Helen is predeceased by her husband, Edwin Schewe; children, Kenneth Williams, Jr. and Trent Williams; parents, Millard and Edna Higgins; brother, Kenneth Robert Higgins, Sr.; nephew, Steven Higgins; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Lisa Williams of Gastonia, NC; Debra (Bailey) Corbett of Charlotte, NC and children, Bailey Dean Corbett, Kendon Corbett, and Chase Corbett; step-daughters, Karen Schewe (Tim Leite) of Houston, TX and children, Lexi Leite and Braden Leite; Ivy Rives of Houston, TX and children, Kaeli (Thomas) Salazar, Kendall Rives, and Kara Rives; Susan (Francis) Jones of Liberty Hill, TX and children, Dominic, Nicholas, and Dylan Morello; and nephew Kenneth Higgins, Jr (Judy), and several other nieces and nephews.
