Helen was a native and lifelong resident of Sulphur before moving to DeRidder about seven years ago. She was a faithful and devoted member of Our Lady of LaSalette Catholic Church, where she was actively involved with the Legion of Mary and generously gave her time assisting with bake sales, craft sales, and chaperoning teen dances. Helen had also attended St. Joseph Catholic Church in DeRidder since her move there. She enjoyed watching television, crafting, and spending time outdoors mowing her lawn and tending to yard work. She especially loved doing word search puzzles and could often complete entire books in a single day.
