She was the daughter of the late Marvin Horton and the late Beatrice Leona Anianu Horton. Helen lived in Statesboro and enjoyed reading her Bible and Christian novels, visiting family and friends, and traveling to the mountains with kids in tow and visiting church’s all over.

Her last job of many jobs was working at L&D Farm Fresh Produce for over 30 years where she loved the interaction with customers and blessing them with free produce. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ and a faith full attendee of the Landmark Holiness Church. She will always be remembered as a prayer warrior, who took joy in praying for everyone; she never met a stranger! She loved serving the Lord and taking people to church. Most days you would find her selling her doughnuts to help raise money for her beloved church.
