Rashawn we really are going to miss your smiling face. We really are going to miss everything about you, you are gone away for the rest of our lives. We will be thinking about you. Why did you have to go away and leave us with empty hearts and in so much pain. Even though you are gone Jehovah has your spirit to bring back someday to Paradise. On earth it will be a happy place where there will be no more pain and no more hurt. But until then, you are in your resting place until Jehovah calls you out from your grave. Until that day comes, we are going to miss your smiling face.

We really are going to miss you.

Helen Smith Sutherland, age 98, died peacefully surrounded by her family at her
daughter’s home in Savannah, GA, on Tuesday, March 12th, 2024. Helen was born in
Williston, SC, on November 9th, 1925, to Benjamin and Kitty Smith. She graduated
from Lander College in 1948 with a degree in Home Economics. It was there in
Greenwood, SC, that Helen met the love of her life, Francis “Frank” Earl Sutherland.
Helen and Frank lived most of their married life in Savannah, GA, where they raised
their two children Pamela and Frank, Jr. Helen loved being a homemaker; she was an
avid cook and seamstress. After the death of her husband, Helen moved to Aiken, SC, to
be closer to her siblings. She lived there for the next forty years and was an active
member of South Aiken Presbyterian Church. Helen was predeceased by her husband
Frank and her eleven siblings. She is survived by her daughter, Pam Cunningham
(Pinkney), her son Frank Sutherland, Jr. (Kim), her dear granddaughters Allison Moretz
and Meredith Moretz-Boyer (Grant), her three great grandchildren Hannah, Abigail, and
Connor, and many nieces and nephews who thought of her as a second mother. Miss
Helen, as she was known in the neighborhood, walked three to four miles miles every
day into her mid 90’s and always stopped along the way to visit her many friends. She
treated everyone she met like family. If you’re walking along Barnard Avenue, early one
morning or late afternoon, and feel a hand on your shoulder, it just might be Miss Helen.
Her memorial service will be held in Aiken, SC, and she will be laid to rest beside her
beloved husband Frank in Aiken Memorial Gardens.
