Willie Mae

Helm

Willie Mae Helm, 82, entered fully into the presence of the Lord on Saturday, August 24, 2024. She peacefully passed away while surrounded by her family.

Willie was born on November 10, 1941, to Louis and Ella Helm in Stamford, Texas. Wille was the 7th of seven children of Louis and Ella.

Willie was a longtime resident of Coahoma, Texas, before moving to Arlington, Texas, and settling in Waco, Texas, to be closer to her sons. Willie is survived by her two younger children, Curtis (Vicky) Humphries of Fort Worth, Texas, and Travis (Wyntre) Humphries of Waco, Texas. She was preceded in death by her five brothers; Herbert, Lewis, Milbert, Robert, Albert, one sister, Agnes, and her eldest son, Weldon.

God's gift to Willie was her creativity. Willie was an extraordinary seamstress. Over the course of 60 years, there was not much that her hands did not sew. Nothing was impossible for her. Her heart was happiest creating the perfect pattern, preparing the material, cutting the material, and rejoicing when the finished product came to life. Willie had a kind and gentle soul who touched many people by her quick wit and humor.

A graveside service will be held 10:00 A.M. Thursday, August 29, 2024, at Roscoe Cemetery with Rev. Kevin Shipp officiating. Interment will follow under the direction of McCoy Funeral Home.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
