Mary Helen Wilcox, daughter of Charles Victor Sparks and Mabel (Frey) Sparks, was born April 15, 1918, near Fairview, Oklahoma and passed away November 16, 2013 at Green Valley Nursing Home in Perry, Oklahoma.
On August 31, 1935, she married Pete Schroeder in Enid, Oklahoma. They made their home near Fairview, Oklahoma where their first child, Peggy Ann, was born. They later moved to a farm north of Cleo Springs and Peggy Ann passed away at the age of 20 months. Five more children were born while living on the farm and in 1952 the family moved to town (Cleo Springs).
Mary Helen was a homemaker, a devoted wife and mother, a nurse's aide at Fairview Fellowship Home for 15 years and an excellent caretaker of Pete, especially during his last years of life. She was an active member of the Cleo Springs Nazarene Church.
