Helen J. Willming, 82 years old, of Edmond, Oklahoma, passed away on May 15, 2024 in Oklahoma City, OK. Helen was born February 27, 1942 in Kansas City, KS to Catherine and William Johnson. Helen was always a hard worker, who even quit school in the 10th grade to help her mother and siblings financially. Her dream was to be a secretary and learn how to type. Helen was a wonderful homemaker. After meeting the love of her life, Mel, she kept an immaculate home for many years while raising her children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
She loved sunsets and watching what “old man painter” would do to the sky and looking at homes and enjoying the beauty in trees. In her final years, after her beloved soulmate Mel passed away, Helen enjoyed time with her dog, Zoey, playing daily ball games and spending time with her grandchildren.
