- Helen Pearl Poe, 83, of Bel Air, Cumberland, died peacefully Monday, Nov. 14, 2016, at home in the presence of her family. She was born Oct. 3, 1933, in Pinto, to the late Walter N. Yoder and Lillian P. (Porter) Yoder. She was the fourth of five children and was preceded in death by her parents and older siblings, Bill, Velma, and John. She is survived by a younger brother, Fred, of Hunt Valley. Helen grew up in Pinto and was educated in the public school system, graduating from Allegany High School in 1951. She was a Camper cheerleader and remained a loyal fan throughout her life. Thereafter, she attended Potomac State College, graduating in the spring of 1953. It was there she met her soulmate and future husband of 63 years, Richard C. Poe of Grafton, W.Va. He is better known to most as Dick. Helen and Dick were married June 20, 1953, in Cumberland. This union produced two children, Rich Poe, Flintstone, and Kristie Hepler, Millboro, Va. Beyond the immediate family are five grandchildren, Matt Hepler and wife, Sarah of Glade Springs, Va., Kerri Campbell and husband, Mike of Millboro, Va., Katie Lewis and husband, Trenton of Cumberland, Amy Clean and husband, Gene of Cumberland, and Darcy Smith and husband, Blake of Ellerslie. Also surviving are seven great-grandchildren, Kennedy, Harper, and Ellie Campbell, Brinley and Berkley Lewis, Audrey and Camrie Clem; daughter-in-law, Sarah Poe; and 15 beloved nieces and nephews. Helens chosen niche in life was to be a homemaker. She was a devoted mother and wife and fulfilled this demanding role with a loving heart. She also worked as a payroll clerk and receptionist, substitute teacher, Girl Scout leader and volunteered as an election official. Helen enjoyed her many friends and possessed a keen wit and sense of humor a quality she maintained and shared her entire life. In short, Helen was a good soul whose life enhanced many others. She will be sorely missed, but fondly remembered. Friends will be received at the Scarpelli Funeral Home, Cresaptown, on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016. A funeral service will be conducted at the Cresaptown United Methodist Church on Friday, Nov. 18, 2016, at 11 a.m. with Pastor Hal Atkins officiating. Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Park.
