Helen loved to serve people and always did so joyfully whether at her home daycare or being the longtime custodian at Immanuel Pentecostal Church. Although work was important to her, family always came first especially her grandkids whom she adored. Whether it was attending a school event, camping together, making a meal, staying at "Oma's Resort" or just playing Lego on the floor she loved the company of all of her kids. She has left us a legacy of living with joy, passion, generosity and love. Her faith and love of the Lord was evident in every part of her life and we are thankful for the Godly heritage passed down to us from her. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at Immanuel Pentecostal Church, 955 Wilkes Ave. Burial to follow immediately after the service. Thank you to Dr. A.
