Helen was born February 13, 1930 in Golconda, IL to Arnold Rudolph and Eva Walker Paulk.  She was later raised by her mother and step father, Edward Clark.  Helen married James Franklin Hughes on December 25, 1946.  James was the love of Helen’s life, and they were happily married over 64 years.  While they never had any children, they had several nieces and nephews that they loved like her very own.

Helen worked at Potter and Brumfield for over 26 years.  She was a senior inspector and helped build relays, reed switches, breakers, and circuit boards.  In her spare time she enjoyed reading, crocheting, and painting pictures.  She liked the wild life best.
