Helen worked for Barnes Hospital (BJC) for many years. Upon retirement, she enjoyed volunteer work in her community and traveling, especially to Los Angeles to visit relatives and friends.
Activities in Community service include membership in the NAACP, NUL, New Life Evangelistic Center and the Neighborhood watch. She was involved in Voter Registration Drives, and the Annual Thanksgiving Dinners at New Life. She and Freddie Lee worked side by side serving the homeless. After Freddie Lee passed she donated some of his clothing to New Life. She felt that her living was not in vain if she helped others along the way, her joy in life was helping others.
