They were married and settled in Manchester, GA where they had a son and then moved to South Carolina where they had three daughters. Helen was very active in Dorchester Waylyn Baptist Church where she remained a faithful member until she moved to Goose Creek in 2001 and has been active in Crowfield Baptist Church since that time. An accomplished and avid seamstress, Helen took great pleasure in crafting useful gifts for her family and friends. Until her latest sickness she continued to do tailoring and crafting to fill her time. She also was an excellent cook and baker and was thrilled to pass on some of her skills to her great-granddaughters. Helen is survived by her two daughters, Velda Carroll Phillips (Jesse) of Walterboro, SC and Ruby Linda Carroll May of Bristow, VA; daughter-in-law, Diane Ruotolo Carroll of Moncks Corner, SC; surrogate daughter, Bobbie Carole McMahan (Jim) of Sugar Valley, GA; four grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren.

Linda, Velda, and Family: I hope you see this. We did not know! We went to the Senior luncheon today at St. Thomas. I saved her place expecting her to be there. I had tried to call her several times, but, got a recording. I had no other phone numbers. My next attempt was to drive to Goose Creek! I didn't have a good feeling! Now, I know why. So, so, sorry . We had some great memories! Much love!

Ms. Helen and my Mother, Helen Gunnells, were best friends. Now they are both together again, and I am sure are having beautiful times. Ms. Helen was not only a true friend, a great baker, and one who spoke her mind. May she Rest In Peace. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Aunt Helen was my GREAT-GREAT Aunt. She was our children's GREAT-GREAT-GREAT Aunt, and our grandchildren's GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT Aunt. Aunt Helen has a great legacy! We looked forward to her visits to Shelbyville and Huxley, TX. One of our children now lives in Charleston, SC, so we would add Goose Creek, SC and a visit with Aunt Helen to our trips.

As I read the listing of Aunt Helen's family, I realized that I have TONS of cousins that I do not know. I realize that it is a sad time, but I know Aunt Helen would love to know that we might try to get together one day. Our home is always open!
