Helen Fay Humphries Hathcock, 85, passed away Tuesday, May 31, 2016, at Oak Tree Manor. Born on November 25, 1930, in Amory, she was a daughter of the late Walter Lee Humphries and Elva Freeda Wideman Humphries Nash.

Before her senior year of high school, Helen married S. B. “Jack” Hathcock on July 15, 1947. She was a graduate of Smithville High School Class of 1948. She played basketball and was voted “Most Beautiful” in her junior and senior years.
