Helen Drennan Wells

She is reunited with her dear husband of 56 years, Joseph A. Wells, who left us 11 years ago, and her dear mother, Elizabeth (Bess) Drennan. She joins many dear ones in the great cloud of witnesses who are always praising God.

Born December 5, 1930, In Spartanburg, SC, Helen was a beloved wife and daughter, devoted mother, loving grandmother, doting great-grandmother, faithful aunt, sister-in-law and friend. Elegant and kind, patient and wise, nurturing and loving, she taught us how to live and how to die. We have been richly blessed by her Christian faith, her hope in hard times, and her enduring love. She will be sorely missed each and every day.
