Helen L. Youngblood

Helen was a remarkably loyal, loving, honest, brave and forgiving woman. She spent her life committed to her Lord, Jesus Christ; her husband; and her family. She welcomed everyone into her home with warmth and a hearty meal. She taught her children and grandchildren how to be respectful and giving and how to appreciate God. After a battle with dementia, she peacefully left our Earth while in the presence of her son, daughter and son-in-law.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Rufus Youngblood of 50 years; her seven siblings; her grandson, Ricky Kumskowski; and her daughter, Brenda Kumskowski-Rebelo. She is survived by her children Delorise Ann Weisser, Jimmy Youngblood, Jerry Wayne Youngblood and wife Linda, Linda Sue Stricklindand and husband Troy; her 14 grandchildren; 27 great grandchildren; and her 4 great-great grandchildren.

Visitation will be Tuesday Feb. 21st from 3-7 and services will be held at 10 A.M. Wed. Feb. 22nd at Miller’s Memorial Chapel.
