Helen Peterson

Mrs. Helen Marie Gray Peterson, 96, of Clemmons, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 16, 2022. Helen was born April 28, 1926. She was the daughter of Mabel Gray Crouse and Coy Crouse. She had one sister, Gilda who preceded her in death. From her mother, Helen gained her love for Jesus Christ. Helen met her husband, Lee C. Peterson and they were married on November 2, 1946. Soon after, they began their family, which consisted of ten children. Mom always had a way of making each child feel like they were #1 and feel special. She always made sure her children had a loving home while sharing the love of Christ to each of us. She later was preceded in death by her husband; a daughter, Betsy Marie Peterson and a son-in-law, Johnny. Surviving are her children, Gary (Joan), Pam, Greg (Kathy), Mark (Andrea), Bob, David, Steve (Sydney), Brian (Claire) and Jim (April), along with 14 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Helen was an avid member of Calvary Baptist Church. She had a love for people, which she used in her real estate career to help young families find their perfect home. The family would like to thank her caregivers for their loving care to our parents, Roshall Binyard, Tashina Welborn, Alesha Welborn and Vaneisha Pratt, who have all become family. The family will receive friends from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 24, 2022 at Hayworth-Miller Kinderton Chapel. A funeral service will be held immediately following at 2:30 p.m. A private burial service will be held at Westlawn Gardens of Memory.
