Helen spent many hours volunteering in the Cleburne County Cares' office where she was constantly reminded of the phrase, "walk in another's shoes".
As a facilitator for "Beginning Experience", Christian weekend retreats in Little Rock dealing with grief and loss, Helen was able to mentor and share the love of God and the Bible with others.
Helen enjoyed giving her time to the Methodist Boy's Home. Her interactions with the young men gave Helen an opportunity to pass her knowledge of Christ to the next generation.
