Helen Marie Sapp

Helen Marie Sapp passed into glory on December 3, 2019 after a long fight with cancer. Ultimately she was the victor in Jesus, her blessed Saviour. Her faith in Jesus Christ and her hope for heaven gave her a peace through the illness and hard times that always left her smiling and trusting in The Lord. She was a wonderful example to her family and friends of walking with Jesus.

Helen was born to Otto O. and Oreda Hannah Lautenschleger Miller in Millersburg, OH on April 27, 1938. She was one of 9 children who grew up in Amish country there in Holmes County.

Bob was in the Air Force and throughout his military career, they traveled the world living in England and Turkey as well as many stateside duty stations. Helen was a marvelous hostess and wonderful mother who could stand on her own holding down the fort as Bob was away on TDY so often. She was an amazing woman and friend to all. She was a member of Sooner Baptist Church in Midwest City, OK. She loved her family and friends and loved to read, play games and travel.
