She attended Salemburg Schools and went on to further her education at Hardbarger Business College in Raleigh.  She retired from Southern Bank in Salemburg, after working as a loan officer in the banking business, for over 30 years.  She was blessed to have met and work with many valuable customers and friends.  She was a loving and devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister.  She loved her church family, served her Lord as a Sunday school teacher, choir member, WMU member, and various other duties for many years. She was a great cook and enjoyed baking delicious desserts. She enjoyed working in her yard and tending to her beautiful flowers. She was a very supportive wife to her husband throughout their farming career.

 In addition to her parents, Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Fred Devone Herring, who she always called her “sweetheart” of 55 years,  and her brother Richard H. Fann.
