After high school Helon attended Texas Women’s University in Denton, Texas graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree.
At age 14 she was a very accomplished Quarter Midget race car driver at the Bubblegum Bowl in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her driving skills earned her many awards, trophies, and newspaper articles for her talents.

She worked for and retired from Exel Supply Chain in Roanoke, Texas where she worked as an administrative assistant. Her hobbies included gardening, genealogy, and home projects.
On 11/13/2022 she was called home to be with Jesus after losing her battle with acute pancreatitis. Helon will be sorely missed by family and friends not to mention her loyal canine companion of 14 years Lucy. Don’t worry Lucy will be cared for by family.
