Helen L Beaujour

With reverence to Almighty GOD and gratitude for a life lived in service of our Sovereign King, we honor and celebrate the homegoing of our dearly beloved Helen Beaujour. A woman of virtue, valor, and renaissance.

A Renaissance woman is one who has a wide range of abilities, deep knowledge, and active interests across multiple different fields; such as the arts, sciences, literature, and philosophy.

In the year 1947 on October 2nd, GOD sent one of HIS most trusted and elegant angels to Earth. Stretching pines and red clay winds blowing through old oaks native to Lewisville, Arkansas was the backdrop for her peaceful beginning.

Helen Louise Cullins bloomed surrounded by 8 loving siblings and two hardworking parents. This small picture of grace slowly became known by her elders and family as the incredibly special, “Lou” or for closer members, ‘Ms. Of Course.’

As the years passed, Helen’s poise, sophistication and love for the arts deepened. Graduating from Foster High School with honors, she later enrolled and attended Dallas Baptist University where she obtained an associate's degree in business and bachelor’s degree in accounting.

As we all know, our dear Helen carried multitudes inside of her. She was a sister, mother, a friend, scholar, singer, poet, seamstress and most importantly, a servant of the Lord. These titles were only but a mere fraction of the roles she filled in the lives of others. Helen met Fred Heads at Bishop College, fell in love and married from 1966 – 1979. Their union produced two beautiful children, Frederick and Michele.

Her dedication to Christ and ministry quickly led to the start of a lifetime of service at Mount Olive Lutheran Church. There, she served various committees and tirelessly gave herself to the community. She was also a faithful member of the South Dallas Concert Choir.

Helen’s affinity for service did not stop with Mount Olive Lutheran Church. She served as a trusted supervisor/Oil and Gas Senior Accountant for Mobil Oil from May of 1972 to December of 1997. She later moved on to be a Senior Accountant for Hunt Oil Company from June 2005 to June 2015.

Her love for art turned into a gorgeous union between herself and Haitian born painter, Alix Beaujour in 1985. After traveling across the US selling his work, Helen and Alix decided to open their own gallery in Dallas, Texas.

She worked, volunteered and shared her love unconditionally until vascular dementia and kidney disease caused her decline, beginning in 2023. For 3 years she valiantly battled life’s circumstances with the help of her devoted daughter Michele and son-in-law Terry. On October 18th at 10:21am, she returned to her heavenly home peacefully having said her goodbyes to her loved ones.

Helen was preceded in death by parents, Roosevelt and Irene Cullins; her beloved son Frederick Heads, husbands Fred Heads and Alix Beaujour; three brothers O.C. Cullins, Roosevelt Cullins Jr., Thelvie Cullins Sr.; and six sisters, Clara Washington, Maggie Phillips, Love Haynes, Lucille Cullins, Sandra Williams and Charlotte Hurst,

She leaves to cherish her precious memory: devoted and loving daughter Michele Fields (Terry), cherished granddaughter Spring Birts; siblings Simon Cullins Sr. (Houston TX), Joseph (Shirley) Cullins (Niagara Falls, NY), Peter (Linda) Cullins (Arlington TX), Mildred (Clarence) Pierce (Dallas TX), Faye Scott (Desoto, TX), Annetta Cullins (Dallas, TX) and Edward Cullins (Dallas, TX); along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, church family and dear friends.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1st Corinthians 13:4-7
