Helen Joyce Metrick

Helen Joyce Metrick was born in Sparksville KY on September 24, 1932. She was the second child of eight born to Mary and Carl. Helen was a woman of many talents. Helen or Joyce if that’s what you called her, was innovative, if something didn’t work, she would figure out a way to fix it, that might be with duct tape and safety pins but she would get it working. Helen enjoyed children so much, that at the age of 63 she went back to school and at 65 she got her Associates degree in Child Development and worked for a couple years with children. Helen was a great mom to her three children, Geri, Linda and Brian, a great grandmother to Jim and Krissy and a great great-grandmother to Matt and Justin. She was also the best dog mom ever, just ask Rocky. Helen was a dedicated wife, a wonderful sister, and a good friend. She lived her life to make the lives of others better. Helen Joyce will be missed by many.
