January 23, 1929 - January 16, 2022

Helen Lucinda Billings, of Yellville, Arkansas, passed into the promised rest January 16, 2022, at the age of 92. She was born January 25, 1929, at Fairview, AR, the 7th of 10 children born to William and Clara Osborn. She was sister to Vida, Hazel, Ivaree, Richard, Carl, Wanda, JoAnn, Arnold, and George.

Helen graduated from Flippin High School in 1947. She loved sewing and was very proud of a seamstress contest she won while in Home Economics. She married James Rush Billings on December 21, 1947. While raising her children she worked at the Yellville shoe store and as a receptionist for Dr. Kelly. She retired from Baxter Laboratories in 1992 when Rush passed. She enjoyed her grandkids and great grandkids, as well as gardening and tending her flowers. She loved sharing her garden's produce with friends and family. During harvest season she often worked into the midnight hours canning and freezing the excess. One of her favorite hobbies was quilting and making clothes. She thoroughly enjoyed the quilting and fellowship at the Yellville quilting club. She was probably most known and loved for her hospitality. Friends and family were always welcome to a bed and meals for as long as they needed. She was a superb cook and loved taking food to others. She was a faithful and active member of the Broadway church of Christ in Yellville.

She is survived by one brother, Arnold; three children, Danny Billings of Noble, MO, Jackie Baker and husband Lyn of Yellville, AR, and Randy Billings of Yellville, AR; four grandchildren, Landon Billings and wife Monica of Seymour, MO, Lindsee Buckallew and husband Jason of Marshfield, MO, Ashley Gunter and husband Jason of Willow Springs, MO, and Fabian Billings of Round Rock, TX; 11 great grandchildren; and a multitude of nieces and nephews scattered across the US.
