She was a Hospice volunteer and also did volunteer work for Atrium Health.

Her favorite places in the world were Cherry Grove, South Carolina and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She spent the happiest days of her life in these places with both family and friends.

Helen was loved and will be very much missed by many.
