Earlier in Helen's life she enjoyed being a homemaker and worked at Famous Barr in St. Louis, Hartzfeld Jewelers in Kansas City and Dillard's in Springfield. Interestingly, Helen didn't learn to drive a car until later, when she was 59 years old, and all the neighbors kept their distance when she was behind the wheel. Helen enjoyed socializing with her friends and family, traveling to Hoxie for gatherings, family reunions and vacations. She also liked playing cards, games and reading - she always kept busy.
