Mrs. Virginia "Jenny" Ruth Helton

Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Virginia (Jenny) Ruth Helton, went home to be with the Lord on February 17, 2025. She is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, Vic Helton; her children, a daughter Lynette and husband, Ken Maynor, a son, Alan and wife, Lisa Helton, a son, Brian and wife, Emilee Helton, a daughter, Suzanne and husband, Derek Emerson. She has nine grandchildren, Matthew and wife, Carolyn Helton, Jared and wife, Kathleen Maynor, Jonathan and wife, Britney Maynor, Angela and husband, Ryan Nutter, Anthony and wife, Mckalah Helton, Caleb and wife, Sami Emerson, and Chandler and wife, Amanda Emerson, and Joshua Helton; 10 great-grandchildren, Drake Maynor, Styles Nutter, Brody Taylor, Maddox Helton, Benson Helton, Jaxson Nutter, Judah Helton, Grayson Maynor, Jacob Maynor, and Isabella Maynor; sisters, Ruby Kessinger, Myralee Jones, Nilah Clemins, and many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends who she loved dearly and a Godly neighbor, John Ayers.

She was preceded in death by a grandson, Little Victor Helton; her parents, Johnny and Oma Higginbotham; and two brothers, James and Gerald Higginbotham.

Virginia was a member of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Fayetteville where she had served faithfully for many years. She was dedicated in proclaiming the salvation message. The daily Biblical devotional messages she penned were filled with encouragement and she always expressed the need for everyone to be saved, for everyone to know the love of God and the person of the Holy Spirit. In one of her last devotionals, she said "Come to Jesus today, don't delay!"

We are assured that she is living in the Heaven she taught about, and that she would want everyone to join her through their acceptance of Jesus, since he is the only way.

Her favorite sayings were pray, pray without ceasing and Jesus is my all in all!

Her family says they love her to pieces, just like she would always say to them!

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Thru The Bible at (store.ttb.org)
