Helen Mason went to be with her Heavenly Father at the age of 90. She was married to W.D. “Tiny” Mason, the love of her life, for 67 wonderful years.

They had three grandchildren, Natalie Swanner of Los Angeles CA, Cole Swanner of Byers, OK and Clark Swanner, deceased. They also had one great grandchild, C.J. Swanner of San Angelo, TX.
Helen and Tiny moved from Andrews, TX to Midland in 1966. She was a full time mother until becoming a realtor in 1972. She worked for Don Harvey Realtors until retiring in 1990 to be a full time grandmother. She loved her grandchildren.

They were members of West Side Church of Christ and later Golf Course Road Church of Christ.
Helen was preceded in death by her husband “Tiny”, grandson Clark, her parents, one sister and two brothers. Joyce Martin of Ft. Smith, Arkansas is her only remaining sibling.
