As a young adult, Helen worked at the candy counter at Roses Dime Store. She always said that selling candy at Roses was her most favorite job.

Helen was a life-long member of North Kannapolis Baptist Church and attended faithfully until her lack of mobility kept her at home. She attended the Women's Sunday School Class, served on the Hospitality Committee, the Decorating Committee and the Funeral Meal Committee. She also loved serving hotdogs at the annual Fall Festival and refreshments at Vacation Bible School. She dearly loved her church family.
