Helen was very proud to be a charter member of Hillcrest United Methodist Church. When younger, she was active in the Methodist Women's Circle. During WWII while working for Dr. Batton, an Optometrist, Helen met her husband Clarence who at the time was stationed at Will Rogers Airfield. (Clarence was a patient of Dr. Batton and the family kidded that Helen always gave Clarence the wrong prescription in his glasses so he would have to come back in to the Dr.'s office and she could see him again.)
