Helen Cable Dobbins, 90, passed away Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019, at the St. Joseph's Campus of Mission Hospitals in Asheville following a brief illness. Helen was a native of Graham County, born Nov. 3, 1928, to the late Tolvin Aldridge and Clara Cable Aldridge.
She was a faithful member of Sugar Hill Baptist Church.
Helen was talented at many things and accomplished much, simply because she was bold enough to try. This trait was a wonderful example to her children and grandchildren and they learned much from her. Her cooking was legendary and she always kept beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. She loved children and her loving nature drew them to her. She will be missed very much.
Helen was retired from Baxter Healthcare.
Helen's first husband, Wayne Cable, and her second husband, Clinton Dobbins, preceded her in death, as did three children, Johnny Jeffrey Cable, Norma Faye Toland and Aaron "Butch" Cable.
Surviving her are four daughters, Nancy Day of Marion, Jeanette Dalton and husband, Dan, of Hickory, Kathy English of Marion, Patsy Kellogg and husband, Chuck, of Marion; a foster daughter, Jennifer McMahan of Marion; and three sisters, Ida Brooks of Marion, Lois Eller of Robbinsville, and Icie Banks of Burnsville. Eleven grandchildren and many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren also survive.
A funeral service was held Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 11 a.m., at Sugar Hill Baptist Church, with the Revs. Michael Robinson and Bruce Ward officiating. The family received friends at the church from 10 to 11 a.m., prior to the service. Burial followed in the church cemetery, where Helen was laid to rest beside her beloved Wayne.
