Read More	d/o Will and Lola Beadles w/o Mark Hannon Hodges, Jr. Helen Jeannette Beadles Hodges April 11, 1930 - April 13, 2019 Franklin - Helen Jeannette Beadles Hodges, who devoted her life to family and faith, died on April 13, two days after her 89th birthday. She has born in Richmond VA and spent the early years of her life in the Varina area. She was a resident of The Village at Woods Edge in Franklin VA and then the East Pavilion Nursing Home after the death of her husband, Mark Hodges, in 2018. Many of the years between these locations were spent in various residences in Warsaw VA. She married the love of her life, the boy who lived across the road, with whom she attended classes in a two-room schoolhouse. They built their dream home nearby, between her beloved sister, Audrey and her parents, shortly after their marriage in 1950. It was there she raised five children and enjoyed her favorite pastime, which was being a mother. She was a gardener and nature lover, and led many walks with the young folk over the Civil War bulwarks in the woods behind their home; admiring their forts or looking for wildflowers like Lady Slippers or Indian Pipes. Crouching at the stream’s edge there she demonstrated how to make little boats out of leaves and twigs and send them sailing. Sledding and bike riding on the Yahley Mill Hill were other favorite activities with the kids. Caring for family pets including cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits and dogs often fell to her and she found a special favorite in Herman the beagle. The cousins next door and other neighborhood children, especially Jimmy Trusty – a faithful friend till the end, were always welcome in her home. She served as the local Cub Scout Den Mother and the parade of young boys in their blue and gold uniforms looked like a line of ducklings exiting the school bus to meet and enjoy craft projects and refreshments in her kitchen after school. Clipping every newspaper article and saving all programs and awards that involved her children enabled her to make each of them a scrapbook of special life memories from first grade through college. The church was central to her being and she started each day with a devotional. She was very active in congregations wherever they lived and had a greeting card and a lemon meringue pie ready to deliver to anyone sick or bereaved. Playing old hymns on her piano was a great joy throughout her life. A quiet, literate person, her social activities were largely limited to intergenerational family dinners at her parents’ home, the quilting club and Women’s Missionary Union meetings. She loved a good crossword puzzle, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Watching her teaching her grandchildren and great grands to play games, assemble jigsaw puzzles and enjoy creative activities was a treat. She was generous to all with her timer, talents and money. She will be greatly missed. She is survived by her children, Nancy Douglas (Charlie), Kathy Herbert (Bill), Mark Hodges (Karan), Helen Wylie (Larry) and Audrey Hodges. She is also survived by her grandchildren Timmy Hodges (Emmy), Jason Hodges (Jackie), Matt Wylie (Ashley), Megan Saunders (Scott), Tommy Herbert, Bill Williamson (Sidra), Chance Herbert (Hannah) and James Ogletree. She is also is survived by her Aunt Mary B. Kehoe and ‘sisters-in-love, Juanita Ragsdale and Bernice Mae Nelson. She was predeceased by her parents Will and Lola Beadles, her husband Mark Hodges, Jr., her sister Audrey Gillespie and her son-in-law, Harry Williamson. A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, April 17 at 1PM, at the Hardy Central Baptist Church, 4655 Darbytown Road, Henrico VA 23231. A reception will follow the service in the church fellowship hall. The Mark Hodges family will receive guests on Tuesday, April 16, at their home, 26290 Tyler Circle, Courtland VA between 6PM and 8PM.
