Helen was a graduate of Duke University. She taught English and History prior to having a family. She continued teaching in Sunday School and working with Girl Scouts. Helen was a consummate homemaker. She loved to cook, sew, knit, and crochet. Her intricate works of handmade knitted afghans, sweaters, dresses, scarves, etc. won Grand Prizes and Blue Ribbons at the South Carolina State Fair.
She was very passionate about history and civic responsibility. Helen worked with her husband to build their business, April Tax Service. One way Helen served her community was by her participation in local elections as the Westover Acres Poll Manager for thirty plus years.
Helen also was loved by her animals, especially her cats. She was known in the West Columbia area for nursing stray and wild animals back to health, including wild rabbits and squirrels. Her backyard is the perfect habitat for birds, squirrels, hummingbirds, etc. She will be remembered for her countless “pet” stories.
