Helen B. Williams

Aunt Helen I will never forget the love you were able to give everyone that came in contact with you. I am truly sad that my son won’t be able to experience you as much as I did as a great aunt. I will miss your smooth southern drawl that comes out like maple syrup every time we spoke. Aunt Helen you were one of the funniest people I knew. Heaven is that much brighter and earth is that much dimmer without you here. Heaven is sounding like a comedy club with the William sisters as the headliners. We will truly miss you and the love you have each and everyone. Each and every person who came in contact with you will truly be better off for knowing you.

I am so thankful that I had the privilege of working with Helen through Virginia Cooperative Extension. Each day she lived her life reflecting Virginia Tech's motto "That I May Serve". She will be greatly missed, but her legacy will always be an important part of Virginia Cooperative Extension.

Ms. Helen was loved by the Village Garden Club of Amherst. She inspired us to decorate her office outside each year. She supported all of our projects and was a tremendous asset to Amherst and anyone that she came in contact with throughout the years. Rest in Peace Ms. Helen

Helen was loved by so many, especially the "Irvin Clan"...Kevin and family, Dennis and family and Doris and family. All of the Irvin grandchildren went to 4-H camp and knew Helen. She will be missed terribly. She was a kind, loving, Christian woman who is now resting in the arms of Jesus.

Helen was the definition of grace and service. The many years I encountered her through 4-H left an indelible impression. What a wonderful role model for our community! She will be sorely missed.

I have known, worked with, respected and loved Helen since I moved to Amherst 45 years ago. Never have I heard an unkind word uttered from her. Her love of Family and the people of Amherst County was exemplary. Always cheerfully inviting and polite. I am honored to have known her and will truly miss her earthly presence but knowing that she rests in the arms of God.

I loved calling the Amherst Extension Office and talking to Miss Helen. She always made my day better. She loved her work family and was a blessing to so many 4-Hers over the years. My condolences to the family. May your wonderful memories of Helen be a comfort to you.

Mrs. Williams, or Helen as she became known to me as I grew into adulthood, was such an important fixture in my life. Throughout 4-H she could be counted on to have all of the information we could ever need. She was fair and wanted nothing but the best for the children in 4-H. As I grew older I came to appreciate her witty sense of humor and vivacious spark for life. Helen was a blessing to so many.
