Her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes were always a pleasure to see. She fought many hard battles and deserves the rest she now has.

Ray family - Very sorry to hear about the loss of Helen. She was a loving and supportive wife and mother. She went to all the games for her husband and children cheering on the teams!. She helped to teach bowling to the PE classes. Even in recent years she still attended many games, she was a true Quarrier. She will be missed by many!

Kerri, Toni and Paula: Our condolences are with you and your family..Helen was a great, generous and loving person..She was always there to listen and give you a hug the minute she saw you. Her smile meant so much. I will never forget the time she had Braeden in her daycare. Also, the tomato juice she gave to Mike and joked around about and the Pickles she gave to Braeden, "telling me how he would eat the whole jar of Pickles in one setting". Memories are great! Love and Prayers

To the Ray family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Helen was one of a kind. She was a wonderful, caring person with a heart of gold and I feel very blessed to have known her. I met her through the Scott family. She took great care of Danielle and Cody when they were little, took the whole family into her heart as if they were family, and I was lucky enough to be included as well. Dear Helen will never be forgotten. My prayers are with you all.

Keri and family, please know Brenda and I are so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. You are in our prayers and thoughts and hope you draw strength from each other and from those of us who ran around with you in school and called her Ma too. While the pain and sorrow will eventually dull, know that we have found from our losses these last few years that the loving memories will come in and wrap your hearts like a favorite blanket in the cool fall, comforting you, embracing the love you shared. God bless. Russ & Brenda Crawford

our love to the Ray family...we will miss Helen and treasure the memories of her, of her helping to raise our kids, support them in their activities (long after they left her care), of her loving our babies. Now she's with Grandma Jake and Violet and free of pain. She was loved by many.

I am so heartbroken to hear about Helen's passing. She was a wonderful person and the oldest (as she liked to remind us!) cousin. She will certainly be missed. My love and prayers are with you all.
