Helen was raised in a sharecropper’s house on a Cotton Farm during WWI, the Depression, WWII, and survived countless other catastrophes over her lifetime.

 

During WWII at an Air Force Base Dance in San Antonio, Helen and Bennie met. Six weeks later they were married, the war ended so they made their home in Henderson, KY where Bennie was raised. From there they moved to Lexington where Bennie got his degree in Agriculture. After several moves they settled in Campbellsville where they raised Linda and Debbie.

 

Helen worked at Lincoln Income Life Insurance, tutored Math in the GED program and enjoyed anything outdoors, especially camping, boating and fishing with Bennie and the girls. She had an amazing green thumb with the most gorgeous flowers and vegetables. She loved quilting, sewing, cooking and playing bridge with the girls. There was nothing that she couldn’t do.

 

In her seventies after Bennie passed away, she asked if it would be ok if she went to work as a Greeter at Kmart. Very soon after starting that job, they promoted her to an Assistant Manager after realizing her potential. She always gave 110% of everything she did.

 

Helen adored her grandchildren, creating memories that they cherish. From growing and making Nanny’s Lime Pickles to summers in Campbellsville going to Miller Park, the Baptist Church indoor basketball, and the Par 3 golf, she made sure everyone was having a good time.

 

She loved her UK Wildcats and never missed a game. She also watched eight years of Janca’s golf, walking the entire course each time. Her happiness was when she had the grandkids at her home teaching them life lessons and how to love one another.

 

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bennie Clark; a son-in-law, Mike Millett; Parents Edward Janca and Helen Mazur Janca; four sisters: Stella Laza (Emmett), Mary Davis, Olga Kissinger (Wayne), and Lillie Kuhns (Fred); two brothers: Eddie Janca and Albert Janca (Freida); a sister-in-law, Lettie Lowe (Craig); and a brother-in-law, Leslie Clark (Hazel).

Cheryl Eileen Pierson Blakeman, 77, Greensburg, KY

Cheryl spent the first years of her life in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, close to much of her extended family. Her parents moved the family to Bowling Green, KY in 1956 when Cheryl was 10 years old.

 

Cheryl graduated from Bowling Green High School in 1966, where she was involved in choir and home economics. She went on to attend Western Kentucky University and earn a Bachelor’s Degree in music education. As a junior in college, Cheryl met her future husband, Barry Blakeman, also a music major.

 

Cheryl was a talented musician and an excellent teacher.

She was a faithful and devoted wife, a gentle and loving mother, an incredibly doting Grammy, and a beloved daughter and sister. Her greatest joy was her family. A member of the Town and Country Homemakers group, she was known for her cooking, especially her baking, and anyone lucky enough to have a homemade pie made by Cheryl was surely spoiled for life.
