Besides her parents; brothers, Jessie and Ronnie Wix, sister, Janice Wix, and Grandchild, Savannah Sullivan also preceded Helen in death. Ms. Helen was a hard worker throughout her life.

She also worked at Fleetwood Homes for 14 years and worked as a painter for a few years as well. Ms. Helen was a very loving mother and grandmother that enjoyed life to the fullest. In her spare time, she loved going camping with her family. Christmas was her favorite time of year. She wanted nothing more than to have all of her family together and cook for her family.

In her crusade to spread the gospel, she would often fill her van with kids along the way to church on Sunday. She loved the Lord and wanted to help lead many children to him.
