   Helen Virginia Hamilton, age 95, of Flora, Illinois, passed away early morning, April 8, 2019, at Flora Gardens Care Center.

   She was born July 3, 1923, in Arkansas, the daughter of Basil C. and Florena E. (Thompson) Cannon.

   Helen is survived by 2 daughters: Susie (Ron) Woods of Xenia and Charlene (Rusty) James of Clay City; 1 son: Stuart (Tressa) Hamilton of Flora; 11 grandchildren, and many great, great-great, and great-great-great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; several brothers and sisters; a son-in-law: Bill Ray; a granddaughter; and 2 great-great-grandsons.

   A funeral service will be held 1 p.m. Friday, April 12, 2019, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.  Interment will be in Gunion Cemetery in Wayne County.  Visitation will be from 12 noon until 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.  Memorial donations are suggested to McCabe General Baptist Church and will be accepted through the funeral home.
