Helen Marie Green

Helen Green was born November 23, 1918 in Missouri and pasted peacefully from this life on January 3, 2013 after a brief illness.

She was married and widowed twice. She has many nieces and nephews and friends, but no children of her own. “I have a lot of adopted kids,” she said, referring to all the children she has befriended from making snow cones.

Helen moved to Oologah in 1986 with her sister, Hazel Godwin. Hazel’s son, Kenny, built them a house on Sunrise Dairy Farm. Helen, a talented florist, soon went to work in a Flower Shop in “Downtown” Oologah. A few years later, she started work at the Oologah Museum.

For most of the last 12 years, Helen has been serving up snow cones as well as being the curator of the Oologah Museum. She last drove herself to work in November, just before turning 94.

Thank you Oologah Community for making Aunt Helen feel so special and loved!

A memorial service is planned at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Oologah United Methodist Church chapel.
