Helen Jane Freeman passed away peacefully on July 22, 2020 at Mainspring Adult Family Home in Bonney Lake, WA. She was born in Butler County, KY on June 12, 1937 to Henry and Nettie (Anderson) Jenkins, who preceded her in death. Two siblings, Clayton and Frances, also preceded her.

Helen earned a high school diploma and moved to Owensboro, KY where she met and married Clarence F. Freeman. She worked for Green River Community Health as a Home Health aide and grew fond of the many elderly clients she helped care for. She loved growing a garden, especially daylilies and vegetables, being outdoors, Diet Coke, garage sales, visiting with family and enjoying the company of her many rescued canine companions over the years. Helen later married James Tucker and they were together until his death. In July, 2019, she moved to WA to be closer to her daughters.

Burial will take place in Butler County at a later date.
