Note 2

Helen L. Baldwin Glover, 86, departed to her heavenly home on October 2, 2021. She was born October 5, 1934, in the Fairview Community of Lonoke County to Hemp and Mary Baldwin.

Helen spent her early years attending the Fairview School before consolidation. She was a graduate of Lonoke High School where she was an outstanding basketball player for the Lady Jackrabbits.

After raising three children as a loving mother and homemaker, she then served 13 years as the church secretary for First Baptist Church of Carlisle. From there she worked numerous years as the office manager of Chamber's Nursing Home of Carlisle and also served on its board of directors.

Helen became an excellent baker after taking a cake decorating class in the 1970s. From that point forward, she baked and decorated annual birthday cakes which became a much-loved family tradition.

Helen loved working and completing jigsaw puzzles and then re-working the puzzles again with her friends at the Carlisle Senior Center. Helen loved all sorts of crafts and sewing in her earlier years of motherhood.

Even though Helen was a very humble and modest person, she overcame numerous serious health challenges. She was a three-time cancer survivor and an 18-year liver and kidney transplant recipient.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Doris McKinney and granddaughter Michelle Brooke Glover.

She is survived by her three children, Keith (Mary) Glover of Stuttgart, Robin (William) Rountree of Carlisle and Lee Glover of Carlisle; five grandchildren, Mark (Brooke) Glover of Little Rock, Kristen (Barrett) Belew of Little Rock, John Robert Hart of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. Ashley Glover of Jonesboro, and Christopher Hart of Little Rock; 5 great-grandchildren, Addison Glover, Harper Glover and Weston Glover of Little Rock, J.T.
