Ethelyn Irene Helms, 72, of Palo passed away Tuesday morning December 31, 2013 
at Spectrum Health-Blodgett Campus in East Grand Rapids.  Ethelyn was born on 
October 30, 1941 in Otisco Township, the daughter of Alvin L. and Bernice A. 
(Brooks) Helms. 

She graduated from Ionia High School with the Class of 1960 and then earned her 
Associate and Bachelor degrees from Ferris State Institute, now Ferris State 
University.  She worked for the State of Michigan for nearly 30 years, first as 
an accountant and later as a social worker.  Ethelyn enjoyed shopping, dining 
out and living on the family farm for many years until the severity of her 
disabilities claimed the use of her legs.  She then went to live in the adult 
foster care home of Sandy and Dave Fennell, where she enjoyed more good years 
in their loving care.  She attended Shiloh Community Church. 

Ethelyn is loved and survived by her sisters and brother; Ann (Jerry) Adair of 
Altha, Florida, Alvin (Ruth Ann) Helms of Greenville, Lila Lake and Larry 
Treynor of Belding, her nieces and nephews; Annette Helms, Gidgetta (Thomas) 
Roger, Gerald (Jennifer) Adair and her special friends; Barb Edwards, Fred 
Rowley and Sandy and Dave Fennell.  Ethelyn was preceded by her parents, a 
brother Harold and a sister Susan both in infancy; and one niece Amy Helms. 

In keeping with her wishes cremation has taken place.  Memorial services will 
be 11 a.m. Monday at Shiloh Community Church with Pastor Ken Harger 
officiating.  Visitation will be one hour before the service at church.  
Memorials may be given to Shiloh Community Church.  Private burial will be in 
Greene Cemetery, Belding.  Funeral care and cremation services have been 
entrusted to Johnson-Feuerstein Funeral Home, Belding.
