Birth date: Dec 20, 1936 Death date: Nov 29, 2025
Helen Adair Patton Cawyer was born on Manhattan Island, New York, on December 20, 1936. She was the daughter of Helen Houston Patton (later Helen Houston Book) and Robert Caldwell Patton. Her maternal grandparents were David Frank Read Obituary
Helen was a strongly opinionated woman. She was so proud of her family and when I would visit her, she'd share stories of her family history, real and imagined. Lively and full of gab. She shared a time with my family, when Dick and Helen, and Bud and Judy, were so close they'd promised if either couple passed, the other would raise their kids! She loved listening to my Uncle Joe play music at the Teepee back in the day. She really had trouble with her filter, but don't we all sometimes... Rest easy Helen, you have your legacy, all the blessings of your Grandchildren and great grandchildren. They each carry you forward, our life is but a blink , with each moment, we must honor our life. May you look at your girls and think, "How lucky was I to have such strong , smart daughters!" RIP ❤️
I have such fond memories of being at the Cawyer home. Helen was a wonderful cook and there was always room for one more at her table.
