Helen was born March 8, 1918 near McGregor to Charlie and Mary (Plemons) Walter and she was the youngest, and last survivor, of 16 siblings. She married James Winston Anderson on September 2, 1939 in McGregor. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who loved all people and enjoyed doing things for everyone. Helen liked to care for her family, cooking, sewing, and entertaining them tirelessly. Helen loved to be outdoors, and she loved growing flowers. She was no stranger to hard work, and held several jobs including Jack & Jill Donuts, Piccadilly, Woolco and Marathon Battery. She was a faithful member of Cogdell Memorial United Methodist Church for over 50 years. Mother especially favored Christmas, and her passing on Christmas Day seems a special honor for her wonderful, well-lived life. We will miss you dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her siblings.
Helen is survived by three sons, James Arthur Anderson and wife, Cindy of Bedford, Eddie Lee Anderson of West, and David Winston Anderson and wife, Ann of Waco, and one daughter, Margaret Anderson Kramer of Lorena.
