Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Margaret Elizabeth Helkey to show support.

In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Margaret had on those she encountered along her journey. Though Margaret may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, her essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Elbert Sutton and Elizabeth Sutton; her husband Edward W. Helkey; her sisters, Annie Sutton Melson and Marie Sutton Lawerence; and her friend Terry Lee Schuyler.

She is survived by: her nephew Zadoke Augustus Melson, Jr. (Pam); and her niece Cloey Melson Park.
