"... the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7 The spirit of Helen Rose Bradshaw returned to God on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, with family by her side. Helen was born to Victor and Leila Cooley on March 25, 1933 in Houston, Texas. On August 25, 1950, Helen and Charles Reagan Bradshaw joined their lives in matrimony at Lindale Assembly of God Church in Houston. Their union was blessed with three children: Margaret, Rebecca, and Eric. Helen was God-fearing woman who loved her LORD and her family dearly. She devoted her life to caring for her family. She also loved being outdoors in her gardens. Canning and preserving summer's bounty was a family tradition in her kitchen for more years than can be numbered. Helen was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Charles; her son Eric; her grandson Chuck Komppa; her son-in-law Larry Komppa; her parents and four siblings: Beatrice, Homer, Finis and Leroy.
