Helen began this life on December
30, 1930, in Greene County, MO the daughter of Jerry and Noel
(Gardner) Wade. She met the love of her life, Frank Armstrong,
while working at the Sportswear Manufacturing Company in
Republic, MO. Frank left to serve his country in the United
States Army during the Korean Conflict and as soon as he
returned from the service, they were married three days later on
March 18, 1952. They moved to Marietta in 1967 when the
Sportswear Manufacturing Company expanded to their new location.
Helen spent countless hours
quilting and together with Frank, they produced over 100 master
planned quilts for their family and friends. Helen also loved
traveling. Over the years she visited Hawaii, Alaska, Canada,
and places all over the contiguous United States. Many things in
life brought Helen great joy, but perhaps the thing she enjoyed
most was visiting her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and
great-great grandchildren.
Helen was preceded in death by her
husband Frank; brother, Roy Wade; and sister-in-law, Wanda Wade.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children, James
Armstrong and wife Lisa of Lone Grove, OK, Steve Armstrong and
wife Charla of Edmond, OK, and Susan Shultz and husband Ray of
Granbury, TX; 9 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and 3
great-great grandchildren.
Casket bearers are Joshua Shultz,
Caleb Shultz, Parker Armstrong, Robert Armstrong, Michael
Cathey, and Lyndsay Cathey. Honorary bearers are Andrew
Armstrong, Austin McCalley, and Alex Isokariari.
The family asks that those wishing
to make memorial contributions in Helen’s name remember the
Baptist Home for Girls, 13976 Anthony Lane, Madill, OK 73446.
A keepsake video is available
