Eileen Marie (Bucknall) Helms, passed away quietly on June 20th, 2022. She is now at peace and in the loving arms of her beloved husband for 68 years, J. Larry Helms, Sr, who preceded her in death. She leaves behind a legacy in her five children, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, along with a brother and sister, and a host of friends.
We remember Eileen for her boundless strength of character, her independence, her commitment to family, and her appreciation of life. She enjoyed a life full of family, travel, and her many hobbies including cross-stitch, mahjong, finishing the daily crossword in ink and collecting P Buckley Moss patterns. We remember her smile, her laughter, and her stern looks.
We will forever remember Eileen as our mother, role model, and comforter. We miss her now and forever.
