Helen Louise Lee's Obituary
Helen Louise Clark Lee was born on April 22, 1926 in Lynchburg, Virginia. She was the daughter to Virginia and Earl Clark, sister to Rachel, Billy, and Earl (Red).

She passed peacefully in her sleep on the morning of Saturday, April 4, 2020 just 18 days short of her 94th birthday at Huntington Woods Care Center in Westlake, Ohio. She died of natural causes not related to the Corona virus. She enjoyed looking at her favorite dark pink roses through her bedroom window and watching her favorite movie, “Showboat”.
Helen was a mom and a homemaker extraordinaire. She raised four daughters, cared for her home, attended church, and served others. Helen loved to cook and spoiled her children with exceptional meals. She enjoyed and cared for her grandchildren whenever possible. She played the piano and trumpet and loved to crochet. Helen graduated from Central Bible Institute in Springfield, MO in 1948 and was a licensed minister in her early years.
Before entering the care facility, Helen was actively involved with Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village, Ohio. Helen loved Jesus as her Lord and Savior and looked forward to meeting him personally.
In lieu of flowers, the family most gratefully asks for donations to be made to Bay Presbyterian Church, 25415 Lake Rd., Bay Village, OH 44140.
