Ruston Heritage

We have lost another longtime Ruston jewel. Helen Ley was one of the icons from the Now and Then Shop on Pearl Street. She spent many years in Ruston and was an important part of the fabric of this community.

Her News Tribune obituary notes; "Helen Ley 'Gram Jam' Born 10/26/1938 in Tacoma, WA, and passed away 6/19/2008. Helen was a longtime resident of Ruston, and was employed at the Now & Then Antique Shop, which was owned by her brother Paul Wilmoth. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family."

Helen leaves behind 6 children, 13 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and her best friend George Purdy to carry on her legacy. You can share your thoughts with the family at http://www.edwardsmemorial.com/.
