Helen H. Stevens

Helen Huff Stevens joined her husband, Robert Reese Stevens, in heaven on February 28, 2014. She was the daughter of Ed and Della Huff of Crawford, Georgia. Helen, known in her youth as 'Brownie', lived the majority of her life in Oglethorpe County. She was a World War II bride and she and Reese had a brief tour of duty in Boston, but returned to Oglethorpe County to raise their two daughters. She worked for Jefferson Mills and retired from the United States Post Office.

She was completely devoted to service in her church and community. She was a member of the Crawford United Methodist Church and served as treasurer for many years. She held various offices in the American Legion Ladies auxiliary and Oglethorpe County Chamber of Commerce. For decades she served the Oglethorpe County Board of Elections as a poll worker. Well into her eighties she volunteered at Quiet Oaks Healthcare "visiting the old folks" and was named Volunteer of the Year multiple times.
Her hands were never idle and always busy. As long as she was able, she crocheted, did needlework and crafts. She enjoyed playing cards and bingo with her girlfriends, but her favorite past-time was being with and enjoying her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was also well-known for her coconut pies, baked pimento cheese, boiled custard and ambrosia.
She is survived by her daughters Glenda Fincher and Tereesa Minish and beloved son-in-law Bob Fincher; grandchildren Sharell (Russell) Fincher Lewis, Lee (Kim) Fincher, Nikki (Kerry) Roberts and Natalie Johnson; great-grandchildren Alan Lewis, Blake Lewis, Tyler Lewis, Ashlee Fincher, Reese Duffell, Beau Fincher, Wright Duffell and Shaw Roberts.
