Our mother, through our eyes, means many things; she was our rock of ages. She carried us when we were weak and always had a smile and gentle touch. No matter what you needed you could always count on your "rock". The term "red neck woman" will be passed down and be our family tradition, she could shoot a gun and hunt as well as any man. Her daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughters will proudly carry on her tradition. Our mother traveled many miles and touched many hearts through her years, and will be sadly missed and proudly honored.

Helen is survived by her children, Gerald (Katie) Stout of Roswell, Roger (Vonda) Stout of East Sparta, Wilma (Dennis) Moody of Coshocton, Donald (Margaret) Stout Sr. of Midvale, Brenda (Tom) Sutton of Carrollton, Wanda (Paul Sr.) Stull of Gnadenhutten and George (Lisa) Stout of New Philadelphia; sisters, Linda Husk of Akron and Donna Perry of New Philadelphia; brother, Roy (Mary) Husk of New Philadelphia; 35 grandchildren and 39 great grandchildren.
