DOCUMENT in family papers: RESOLUTION:
A grateful Church in recognition of the faithful service of one of its members, Helen McClure, who passed away on May 25, 1974, causes to be inscribed upon the permanent record of its history the following items of great interest:
Helen came to Miami after her husband's death to make her home with her son and his family.
Helen became a vital member of Riviera Prebyterian Chruch, serving through the women of the Church in many areas, on the Board for several terms. She also served through the Presbytery as a District Charman and was among our earliest representatives to Church Women United.
Helen attended Synodical Training School often, taking enough courses to be a graduate. She taught an adult Bible Class for many years. She was a very faithful Church Family Visitor. Most always the first to arrive at the home or the hospital when illness, accident or death occurred.
After the death of her son, Robert Jr., she returned to Birmingham, Alabama to live with her daughter and family. She served for a time as a substitute House Mother at Thornwell Home for Children.
We are grateful to Our Lord for letting her live and serve among us with such joy and zeal. Her memory is our challenge.
