To our many Helms and Davis families: Our cousin George Helms passed away April 19, 2003 in Pasadena, CA. He was an old Arkansas State College student (when I was 17 yrs old) and was always encouraged by his 2nd mother, Frances Helms who was also teacher in the Lawrence, Sharp, and Craighead counties area. George was born blind and loved teaching his "special" children. George was a "Special Education" teacher all his life. His parents were Warren Helms and Nobie Gossage Helms who died in 26 Sep 1933 Newburg, Izard Co. Ark, when George was a small boy. He is survived by three siblings, Tom Helms of Starksville, MS, Mrs. Bonnie Helms Baughman of NE Arkansas, and Mrs. Linda Ruth Helms Long of Mountain Home, AR. and a whole bunch of nieces and nephews. His sister, Wanda Helms passed away several years ago. George was a member of the Pasedena 1st Baptist Church, near his home. A memorial service was held today (4/26/03) at the church and anyone would like to remember George, a donation to the church in George Helms name would be best. Pasedena 1st Baptist Church 75 N. Merengo Pasadena, CA 91101 George was loved by all he came in contact with and especially the students he taught all these many years. They were his extended family and they loved him. George was loved and he will be missed by us all. George was the brother of Tom Helms, who many of you know. Tom and Sue have spent the past week in CA and should be home sometime Sunday or Monday.
