The simple pleasures in life brought the greatest joy to Helen.

Taking, sharing, and looking at pictures were so important to Helen. Pictures were everywhere in her home.

She was known for her compassionate heart, her infectious laughter and her willingness to help others. Foremost was her faith and love studying God’s word and her visits to Israel. Her love for her country was taught to all of us. MAGA!
