Obituary for Helen J. Brown (Pratt)
Helen J. Brown, 92, passed away on November 14, 2016 at home in Bunker Hill, WV.
Helen was born September 25, 1924 in Kitzmiller, MD, the daughter of the late James and Nellie Lombard Pratt.
After high school, Helen worked in the Vindex Coal Company Store until 1948, when she married Charles H. Brown, who passed away on July 10, 2011.

Helen was a long time member of St. Leo Roman Catholic Church in Inwood, WV and especially enjoyed working with her friends counting the collection. She was a prolific card and letter writer, keeping in touch with family and many friends in and out of the country.
In addition to her parents and husband, Charles, Helen was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Elizabeth Pratt, Millie Jewell, and brother, Thomas Pratt.
Helen is survived by sister-in-law, Joy Ray Brown; nephews, James, George, Robert, David, and Michael Jewell, Robert Brown, Joseph Pratt, and nieces, Mary June King and Francis Nickels.
