Helen was born November 21, 1938, to Maxie and Neva Gladney Bradberry in McCool. She was a member of Hopewell Baptist Church of McCool. Helen retired after devoting 35 years to the Spartus Corporation. She enjoyed spending time with her family and loved to cook for them to enjoy. Helen also liked to go…sometimes they made two to three trips a day to town most times accompanied by their dog, Little Joe!

Helen was preceded in death by her husband Hervie Lee Stevenson, her parents, and her siblings Mary Hunt, Johnnie Stevenson, and Maxie D. Bradberry.
