August 10, 1930 - May 23, 2021
Helen Ruth Foley, age 90, passed from this life on Sunday May 23, 2021. She was born on August 10, 1930, in Clay County, AR, to Robert and Grace Williams.

She enjoyed traveling with the Keenagers, reading and volunteering with her church group. She was a member of the First Assembly of God in North Little Rock and was loved by her church family.
Helen was an accomplished seamstress and enjoyed sewing for her friends and family. She began by making dresses for her sisters-in-law out of flour sacks and made clothing for her daughters and granddaughters.

I meet this beautiful soul 33 years ago. I was very blessed to have such a loving, and caring lady to come into my life. I will cherish the time, I spent as her grand son in law, and my heart felt condolences and prayers to this great family in this time of sorrow and loss.
We love Ms Helen, she had a loving soul. We always received hugs from her every time we saw her. We attended the same Christian Growth Class at First NLR Assembly of God. She will definitely be missed but always rememberedðŸ™ðŸ¼
