We will miss Helen, she always had such a sweet smile and greeting for you. We would tease her that she was running a foot race with her walker down the halls at Canyon Creek, she then would quicken her steps to a cute little trot. We are in the Midvalley Assisted Living Branch Presidency, every Sunday looked forward to see her sweet face. We were out of town when she passed away and were saddend when we got word. We loved her so much.

Sincerely, Jim & Mary Nunley

Although I am not part of the family any more, I just wanted to express my condolences to all the family for Grammie Helen. She always treated me so kindly and made me feel so welcome in her home. She was an elegant refined woman who knew how to have fun and love everyone. She just seemed to have this little twinkle in her eyes and lift everyone's spirits who came her way. I am glad I got to know her...Donna Johnson
