It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Helen Louise Brumitt who passed away on May 2, 2024 at her residence in Carbondale with her loving family by her side.
Helen was born on August 4, 1926 in Clinton, Kentucky the daughter of the late Wilburn and Velma (Warner) Hicks.
She married Roy Brumitt and they shared over 67 years of marriage till his passing on December 26, 2016.
Helen is survived by her children; Stephen “Steve” W. Brumitt and Lana and husband Fred Meyers; grandchildren; Jennifer Sheehan; Becky Coons; Stephen “Bo” Brumitt; Justin Meyers; Brittany Meyers and 11 great grandchildren; and a dear family friend Ann Jeralds.
She is preceded in death by her parents; Wilburn and Velma Hicks; daughter Anita Kaye Brumitt; three sisters; Grace, Carol and Dorothy.
She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her children and grandchildren. Helen loved the outdoors, baking but especially sewing. She found so much joy in sewing from sewing doll clothes to sewing all her children’s clothes.
Helen will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
A private burial will be held at Oakland Cemetery in Carbondale.
Walker Funeral Home of Carbondale entrusted with arrangements.
