When it came to some of Helen's special joys in life, they were found in the beauty & fragrance of her favorite flowers, roses and gardenia's,...and the magnificence of the male cardinal with its coat of red. Along with her love of cardinals, she was also known for having quite a knack with most animals as well. They were naturally drawn to Helen, and she had a genuine and unique bond with many of God's creatures. And when it came to the things of God, Helen's faith was strong and deep,...and she always held an abiding love for her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. As evidence to that fact, Helen was revered by family, friends and neighbors alike for possessing a very caring and giving nature,...the kind of servanthood that reflected the love that God had placed in her heart. She also had a warm and wonderful sense of humor, and loved bringing joy to the lives of others. She touched many hearts and lives along her journey through life, and leaves a legacy of love that will forever be reflected upon with a smile. She will be missed immensely and loved eternally.Helen was the beloved wife of the late Norman. Dear mother of Dana (Linda) Elliott, Cheryl (Steve) Krausmann, and Mona Butler.
