Helen was born June 13, 1918 at Alpena, Arkansas, the daughter of Dan and Hazel (Knotts) Robertson.
She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church of Harrison, which she loved dearly. She was such a devoted and very loving mother, granny and great-granny. The void in our hearts will never be the same but we know she's rejoicing in being with Ivan who she had dearly missed.

She is survived by one daughter, Sherry Morrow and husband Paul of Harrison; a daughter-in-law, Betty Jo Decker of Harrison; three granddaughters, Jo Lynn Edwards and husband Bobby of Collierville, Tennessee, Becky Howard and husband Bobby of Harrison, and Lorie Morrison and husband Billy of Harrison; grandsons, Kent Decker and wife Shannon of Harrison, and Jeff Morrow and wife Brooke of Mt. View, Arkansas; great-grandchildren, Lacey and Clint Howard of Conway, Derek Morrison and Brooklyn Hessenflow and her husband Zach of Harrison, Tyler and Bailee Decker of Harrison, and Carley, Beck, Ross Elle and Lucy Morrow of Mt. View.
