Helen Marie Jarvis was born on September 1, 1923 in Picayune, MS and passed from this life to be with her Savior on November 13, 2013.
Affectionately known as Ree, she was a lady of the utmost grace and character. She spent most of her working life as a bookkeeper but her biggest accomplishment and joy was being a loving wife, mother and friend. She loved deeply and was well loved in return by all her family and friends.
