Helen Louise Voth was born January 13, 1940 in Enid, Oklahoma to Henry and Florence (Kirk) Cramer and passed away Monday November 2, 2009 at her home near Longdale.

Helen grew up in the Longdale area and graduated from Longdale High School in 1958 as a member of the last senior class, as the school was closed after that year. On May 24, 1958 she married John Voth in Fairview, Oklahoma. They were blessed with three children, Linda, Susan and John. She was a wonderful homemaker, kept busy raising their three children and ran an ironing service for over 30 years. Helen also worked at the Fairview Public Schools as a custodian for six years. She loved collecting chicken "collectables" and now had thousands of them. Helen also managed and worked at the thrift shop for many years. Along with all her many activities she enjoyed genealogy. She also had a passion for making quilts. Last Christmas she and her sister completed enough quilts to give one to each of her children and grandchildren. Helen was a very outgoing woman and was always ready to help her family, friends, or anyone that needed her help. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Helen is survived by her husband John; son John P. Voth and wife Darla of Fairview; two daughters, Susan M. Kehnemund and husband Kerry of Okeene, Oklahoma, Linda J. Walls and husband Benny of Enid; one brother, Alva Dawayne Shaw and wife Joy of London, Arkansas; four sisters, Alice Ellison of Enid, Nelda Jean Deleshaw of Waxahachie, Texas, Wanda Lou LaChance of St. John, Kansas and Mary Lou Madison of Pratt, Kansas; nine grandchildren, Christy Bratz, Nicole Walls, Brandi Lowder, Jason Corkery, Jade Corkery, Jenny Corkery, Janice Vizarelis, Janean Reese and J.T. Voth; and 11 great-grandchildren, Bailey Bratz, Kobe Wuestenberg, Kinzlie Walls, Erynn Lowder, Jacob Corkery, Joseph Corkery, Jobi Corkery, Ezra Reese, Judah Reese, Kelsey Corkery and Caleb Corkery.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Helen Cramer and Alva and Florence Shaw and three brothers-in-law.
