She attended school in Lobelville and at 16 married a local young man, John Lee Carroll. They were married for 59 years until his death in 2006. The two had one son John Daniel, who passed away in December of 2020.
Helen became a Christian at an early age and always strived to live for the Lord. She was a lifetime member at Fraley’s Chapel Church of Christ.

All their children considered Helen as a grandmother figure and called her “Aunt Helen”
