Helen Marie Beers

Helen Marie (Jennings) Beers, 102, wife of the late Joseph Edward Beers, went home to be with the Lord Thursday, February 10, 2016.
She was born in Essex, Ontario, Canada, the daughter of Garl and Anna Jennings.

Helen retired from Parkview Hospital after working there for 21 years and then volunteered at the Red Cross Blood Bank. She was a member of Eastern Star of the East chapter #514 for more than 80 years and a past worthy matron. She was a member of Good Shepherd Methodist Church before moving to South Carolina to be near her daughter in 1997. She then joined Greenpond Methodist Church in Gray Court, S.C. Helens love for the Lord was evident in her daily life, as anyone who knew her could attest to. Her passion of caring for others was indisputable and the love for her family vast. She enjoyed puzzles, crosswords and playing games of all sorts with her great-grandchildren late into her years. While her family is grateful for the abundance of time they were able to share with her, she will be deeply missed.

Left to cherish her memories are her children, John (Carol) Beers, of Columbia City and Ann (Tom) Sevcik, of Gray Court, S.C.; eight grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held Tuesday from 1 to 2 p.m. at DeMoney-Grimes Funeral Home. The service will follow at 2 p.m. Memorials may be made to Greenpond Methodist Church, 168 Stoddard Mill Rd., Gray Court, S.C. 29645.
