Helen was preceded in death by Dale, her beloved husband of 48 years, her parents, Lloyd and Nellie King, brother, Bobby King, and sisters, Carol Spurgeon and Geraldine King.
Helen enjoyed spending time with family, traveling, and most importantly, volunteering her time to help others. Through her faith in Jesus Christ, she was an inspiration to everyone she met and she strived to live each day with a joyous and thankful heart, always encouraging others.
