Hellen Rice Holt
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Excitement Reigns!
Hellen Rice Holt joins her best friend Jesus, unites with Jack Holt, her beloved husband and best pal of 50 years, her parents, her sisters, and more friends in Heaven.
Even with rejoicing to be with these, she was sad to leave behind, her children, Marilyn Kelly, Mark and Jo Ann Holt, Melissa Holt, her grand-children, Stephanie and Brandon Kelly, Natalie Holt, and Anastasia Bowman and her son, Jack Bowman, her eight great grand-children, and many others.
Hellen was an early resident of Clear Lake City, moving here in 1965. She was a retired teacher of 30 years, 20 years at Clear Lake Intermediate School. Also, Hellen was a long-time member of Clear Lake Baptist Church.
She received her Master’s Degree from East Texas Baptist University where she was voted campus favorite. Her wit and loving nature will be missed.
Private family burial will be in East Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations should be sent to her favorite charity, the Franklin Gram Ministry, Samaritan’s Purse, P. O. Box 3000, Boone, North Carolina 286073000, in memory of Billy Graham. Well, that’s all folks. See you THERE! Hopefully!
Mom,
You were always gave your best. I know your family came first. I will always love you! Thank you for always being there for me. I love you mom!!
Helen was such an inspiration to all those she knew. I met her at Clear Lake Intermediate. She taught my son Matt and I taught her daughter, Melissa.Our son loved her as a babysitter and our daughter Melissa was named for her. Your family will always be very special to us
With love,
Dianne, Mark, Matt, and Missy Vogt Ripoll
She was such a blessing to all she met. One of my greatest cheerleaders in ministry. Praying for you all.
Thank You for your friendship as we met at CLBC. Your journey home to Jesus was filled with many challenges, but you faced each one with courage. We all that knew you and your loving family will miss you and your sense of humor and thoughtfulness toward others! Bon Voyage and see you There! Love, Annette
On behalf of the entire CMC Commercial Metals Family, we would like to extend our condolences to the family of Mrs. Holt.
Helen and my mom (Helen Stephens) were such good friends at Clear Lake Intermediate. They had so much fun working together. I’m sorry for your loss!!
She was such a kind lady!
I will miss you my thoughtful, dear, funny, friend. ..Until we meet again…
The world is less bright; less loving; and less humorous without Helen. She was a tremendous influence on me as a teacher and as a person. I will miss her with all my heart. My prayers are with her loving family.
Helen,
You were always there for me, being such a wonderful role model! I adored teaching Melissa and getting to hear about your family. Melissa, I am praying for you and your sweet family. Please call me any time
Love, Dianne Vogt
Melissa, any time you would like to talk, I would love for you to give me a call.
I love you! Your mom was one of the best teachers I have ever known!

Helen,
Thank you for your many years of love and support for our family. You were one of Teresa and my biggest fans there at CLBC. I know you loved the old hymns and I am sure you are singing them in heaven.
“When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory.”
Helen had a Christlike concern for others and didn’t want anyone to be too concerned over her. She was very witty, strong, and thoughtful. We shared a birthday and she would write me a humorous note each year calling me “Dr. Johnny” and would end it by saying it would probably be her last birthday but not to worry about her because she knew where she was going. She had a sincere and genuine faith in Jesus and I’m rejoicing with her that she is with her best friend and Savior for eternity.
Love,
J.A. Matthew
Lead Pastor, Clear Lake Baptist Church
