Helen Agnew-Gross (Irving) Service Information

Our beautiful loving mother went home to be with her Lord and Savior on August 19th surrounded by her loved ones. Her absence has left a void our family will never fill. She was our Superhero and the glue that held us all together. Her unwavering, loving devotion to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren is what will be remembered most. She was our biggest cheerleader and our best friend. She filled the roles of both mother and father in addition to working full time and did it tremendously, She was involved in all our lives, whether she was attending children’s events, throwing slumber parties, jumping a pogo stick on the steps, throwing wire ball, playing pinochle or scrabble, piling kids in the car for trips to drive-in movies, sharing coffee on the porch or just lending a listening ear, nothing took priority over little hands, hearts and minds. She was the most loving, kind, giving, supportive, patient person with an unending strength. All who met her loved her. Helen was always called Mom by all her children’s friends because that’s how she was loved, she was the Mama!
