Helen Louise Willliams was born October 7, 1941, in Indianapolis, Indiana to the union of Hallie and Cordelia Smith. Helen was the oldest of five children, and she took her role as big sister seriously. This role shaped her to be a loving, compassionate, and supportive woman. Family was her foundation, and family meant everything to her. 

Helen accepted Christ early as her Lord and savior. In 1970 she joined Grace Missionary Baptist Church where she remained a faithful member until she departed this life. At Grace, she was the church secretary, a choir member, a church nurse, member of the mother’s board, and a devoted member of the pastor’s aide. Helen was a God-fearing woman, and she kept Christ at the forefront of her life.
