Helen was raised in the Indian Creek area north of Hartville and professed her faith in Christ at a young age. She excelled in school and her favorite subject was spelling and throughout her life she talked of the days of the 'spelling bees' at school and how she enjoyed participating in them.

Seventeen years later, they returned home to Hartville in the fall of 1973. Helen loved to do handwork, crocheting, embroidery work, ceramics and other hobbies.
