Obituary For Helen Jo Youngblood

Helen Youngblood, 91 of Sherman, Texas went home to be with her Lord on January 3, 2021.

She was born, Helen Jo Sligar in Tupelo Oklahoma on December 7, 1929 to Joseph and Ethel Sligar. She was married to Elzia Youngblood on December 7, 1946 in Coalgate, Oklahoma.

Helen was a loving homemaker and mother. She became a member of the Nazarene Church in Sherman at the young age of 17 until present. She was a vital member, performing many responsibilities.

She enjoyed camping with family and friends and cooking with love for all. Evenings were spent visiting and playing games. In private times, she read her Bible and a wide variety of books.

She was predeceased in death by her husband, parents, 8 siblings, 1 grandchild and 1 great grandchild.

She was survived by three daughters; Joan Prescott of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Carolyn Birmingham of Sherman, Texas, Kathy Stroud and spouse Jon Stroud of Sherman, Texas and proudly survived by: 6 grandchildren, 17-great grandchildren, 13-great-great grandchildren and soon to add another.

Proverbs 31:26-31 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and blessed her; her husband also, and he praises her saying: “Many daughters have done noble, but you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD she shall be praised. Give her of the product of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Visitation with Helen and family will be at Dannel Funeral Home on Friday, January 8, 2021 at 6pm to 8pm. Graveside Service will be Saturday, January 9, 2021 at West Hill Cemetery at 2pm.
