Helen was a devoted member of the Andalusia Full Gospel Church and had taught the little children in Sunday School for over 20 years. Seven years ago, her loving husband, became a faithful member also and joined her in teaching the little ones. Helen loved her church family. She was a devoted homemaker and wonderful “country” cook!
