She and her husband of over 50 years enjoyed the last twenty years of her life in retirement. They together traveled the country seeing everything that interested them including visiting long lost relatives, frequent visits to their children and most importantly keeping close tabs on her beloved grandchildren. Helen is survived by her loving husband, Hervey; her oldest son, Michael with his wife, Greta; her youngest son, Brad and his wife, Pam, and of course her reason for living, her four grandchildren, Thea Emily, Michael Wade, Jesson Andrew and Cody Alan. Her baby sister, Barb Coogle, Favorite cousin, Maryanne Fehringer and husband, Clance; and her nephew William Robinson who she considered her third son also survive her. Helen seemed to have gotten everything she had hoped for in life, Her Family. She taught us to face life with courage and although a brief battle with cancer, it was a courageous fight. She taught our entire family how to die with faith, courage and loving grace. She will be missed beyond any words expressed. A private memorial in Bullhead City is pending.
