Helen loved her family dearly, all her special friends, and loved her Texas Longhorns! Hook Em! She loved her softball playing years at Redeemer Lutheran Church and playing competitive team tennis with her Bastrop ladies for so many years. Some of the best years of her life she would say! Helen loved playing cards, dominos, and bingo. Helen loved spending time at the Bastrop Senior Center, where she enjoyed taking trips, having game days and social time with all her senior families. Casino trips with family and friends were always a special time and she loved it so much!

Helen was a very special person, loved by all that knew her. She was the best wife, mother, and grandmother anyone could have. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten! We LOVE you!
