A proud graduate of Meadowbrook High School in Byesville, Ohio, Helen forged a successful path in the cleaning industry, ultimately becoming the respected proprietor of Aggieland Commercial Cleaning in College Station, Texas. Her employees described her as the best and kindest boss, renowned for her patience and unwavering selflessness. Family and friends will remember Helen as the glue that held them together—her laughter, tenacity, and generosity a beacon to all who knew her.
Helen found joy in family gatherings, treasured the lives of her nephew, Noah Love, and niece, London Love, and found peace near the ocean waves. She was a dedicated member of Living Stones Church in Alvin, Texas, and was baptized at Brazos Fellowship in College Station, Texas, where she served warmly as a greeter.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, October 18, from 1:00–3:00 pm at the Brazos Fellowship Annex in College Station; casual dress is encouraged. As we mourn the loss of our precious daughter and sister, we find comfort in Lamentations 3:23: “…the Lord’s mercies are new every morning.” The family would like to thank everyone for their support, prayers, and love during this difficult time.

There are no words big enough to hold the heartache I feel in losing you, Helen. 💔
Life is so precious… and you were my absolute rock of a bestie. We always talked about growing old together, and you joked about being the first to go to the nursing home — Brooke and I right behind you, wreaking havoc and starting a conga line. That was you: the life of every party, the spark of joy in every room.
You prayed for me when I was weakest.
You built me up when I doubted myself and never, ever let me quit. You gave me hope and inspired me to be a better friend, wife, mother, and daughter. You were the best listener, the truest companion — whether sitting through recovery with a banana milkshake or laughing as I shook my tail feather to make you smile.
You accepted all of me — my crazy ideas, my dreams, my visions — and you never doubted what I was capable of. You pushed me into my business, helped me survive divorce, and loved my children like your own. You breathed wisdom into them, cherished their milestones, and loved them through their flaws.
Fireball was our rally song — Pitbull just got us.
I miss you… your fierce hugs, your knowing smile, your laugh, your sparkle when you flirted with the waitstaff, your kitty updates, your twinkle, your jokes. I miss our Yaya sisterhood, now broken, missing its leg, its arm, its heart.
Helen, you rallied for everyone.
You carried hope and taught me what it meant to believe. You inspired me daily. And now I miss you deeply, fiercely, wholly.
I miss you, my friend. Always.
There are just no words to express how heartbroken I am to hear about the passing of Helen. I always loved all the times I got to visit with Helen, and our conversation always centered around Noah and London. Although she was miles apart from them, she never forgot to send birthday treats, balloons, something to my daycare to celebrate their birthdays and make them special. That’s just one of the memories I have about Helen.
Although our prayers weren’t answered like we wanted them to be, Helen has been healed, just not on this side of heaven.
Much love and many prayers are being sent your way Cathy, Mark and Angie. Larry, and especially to Noah and London.❤️
Dearest Cathy,
I haven’t ever met Helen, but she sure looks a lot like you. Reading the comments she had a lot of your traits, loving life to the fullest.
Sending hugs and prayers ❤️🩹
I worked for her 4 years until i got sick in 2023 she was a great person and boss
Helen, I will always remember your laugh and your humor. Your devotion to you family was obvious…it shows in your niece and nephew…
To my Friend Cathy, Angie and family…I love you all and hope and pray that your memories of Helen will make you smile and even laugh…Laughter through the tear’s is our favorite emotion…
Helen’s passing has left an unimaginable void in my heart. I never imagined I’d live in a world without one of my bestie. Helen was the kind of best friend everyone wanted. She always showed up – ready to listen, comfort, encourage, laugh or whatever the occasion called for – but mostly, we laughed. We laughed a lot! Helen was soft-hearted, fiercely loyal, and loved deeply. If you were lucky enough to be her friend, you were truly blessed. She was so loved and will be missed by so many. My world will be dimmer without her in it, but I am so very thankful for the 25 years of memories we made and thankful for the promise of Heaven when I will see you again, my friend! 😘
