Helen grew up in the Verden and Chickasha area. She attended Chickasha 
Public Schools

She was married to Forest Madison James. Together they owned and operated 
two home-style cooking restaurants in California. This developed into a 
love of cooking for her. She loved to cook and bake and enjoyed sharing 
her delicious creations with her friends and the local businesses around 
Chickasha. She also loved the outdoors, so delivering her cakes and 
desserts was one of the excuses she used to be outdoors.

She was a member of the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church. She loved going to 
church and spending time with her church family. She volunterred for many 
of the church activities and was always willing to help with any project. 
She was also a volunteer for the Salvation Army, and other local 
organizations.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband; both parents; and one 
daughter, Polly.

She is survived by two sons and daughter-in-law: Wade James, of Chickasha 
and Allen and Ronda James, of Broken Arrow; and two granddaughters: Kelly 
Hewitt, of Norman, and Meghan Hewitt, of Tulsa.

Helen had too many special people in her life to mention individually, but 
as everyone that knew her already knows, anyone who knew her were the 
luckiest people in the world, because they had the opportinity to meet and 
know the greatest lady in the world.

Interment was in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of Ferguson 
Funeral Home.
