HELEN CUNNINGHAM SHILLOW: born Helen Cunningham in Eunice, Louisiana on the 21st day of June, 1925. Mother Helen's own mother, Alberta Dupre; and, father, Joseph Cunningham, saw their precious baby girl for the first time in the flickering light of the two-room country home of Helen's grandmother, Eliza
Jones Dupre. And, so began Helen's long earthly journey.
In 1971, after 46 years in Louisiana, Mother Helen moved her entire family from Eunice to Houston,
Texas. While she often longed for the serenity of the little Louisiana town, Houston became the family's
new hometown. Helen lived in Houston for 49 years.
After 95 years of travelling towards the light of eternity, Helen found peace at heaven's gate on
10th of September, 2020. Mother Helen is survived by five of her seven daughters: Irma Jean; Elizabeth,
Madeline, Helen Marie & Ruthie Lee. Also, by one of her two sons: Joseph Lee. Daugthers Bertha Lee
and Mary Jane; and, sons, James David; and baby Frank, were waiting for Mother Helen at the gate of God's Master Trumpeter, Gabriel. She was also survived by a multitude of grand; great grand; and, great-great grand children. She was loved deeply by many neices, nephews and cousins who hail from more than 30 United States.
Mother Helen will be interred at 11 am on Wednesday, the 16th of September, 2020. Location: Memorial Oaks Cemetery, 13001 Katy Fwy, Houston Texas.
