She came into the world at the home of her mother's sister, Helen Doyle Peelor, who was married to Dr. Edward Peelor. Helen's parents were Mary Doyle Brown and Lawrence Wesley Brown. With her parents and brother. Herbert, Helen moved into the Doyle family home in Clinton where six generations of the family have lived. Helen was privileged to have her great-grandmother, Rebecca Thornton Everett, as well as her maternal grandparents, John R. and Matilda Everett Doyle, living in the home throughout her childhood. Later, three more children were born to the Brown family, Paul Edwin, Matilda Churchill and Mary Jean. Surviving Helen is her sister, Matilda Walker, Clinton; niece. Becky Williams. Moberly, and nephews Larry Brown, Washington, D.C., Eddie Brown, Montrose, Chris Walker and David Walker both of Clinton, Jeff Walker, Dallas, Texas. Having no children of her own, Helen enjoyed and loved the young relatives as if they were her own. When she married Jim Long on December 24, 1954, she acquired additional lovely children who were treated just as graciously and generously as the others. Also surviving Helen is a stepdaughter-in-law, Elberta Long, Clinton, and step-grandchildren, Cindy Lewis, Raymore, Chris Bonnewitz, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Cherye Jones and Jay Long both of Clinton. Helen had many interests and hobbles, including a thimble collection of 400 thimbles from all over the world. It was her intention to have this collection donated to the Henry County Museum. Helen's beautiful needlepoint and counted cross-stitch creations have found their way into many homes and hearts. Her research in family genealogy has left valuable information for her family. Helen was famous for her generosity and originality in choosing gifts for her friends and family. She was a Golden Valley Hospital Foundation Member and a member of the hospital auxiliary, also the Henry County Historical Society, Clinton Study Club, the United Methodist Church. She was a longtime choir member of the church and will be sadly missed by all.
