Helen was born in Hobbs, New Mexico to Amos and Thelma Evans Westfall on July 18, 1938. She went to school at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio, Texas. Helen graduated in San Antonio then attended North Texas State College. She married Norman L. Langham on November 18, 1961, in Abilene, Texas. She worked as an Executive Secretary for the Lone Star Gas Regional Office for several years. There she met her future husband, Norman who was an Engineer for Lone Star Gas. While in Abilene they were members of Pioneer Drive Baptist Church. Norman's company transferred him to the Dallas Regional Office in 1965.

Moving to Dallas with 2 small children was a challenge for Helen. She and the family became members of Shiloh Baptist Church in Mesquite, Texas where they became very involved. Among the many activities, Helen taught a Women's Sunday School Class for a number of years.

Soon after moving to Dallas Helen became a Mary Kay Consultant (1966). She was a shy and timid woman but soon became a Star! Through the years she advanced to Future National Sales Director with teams all over Texas and several states. Her claim to fame was the many Pink Cadillac automobiles she was awarded through the years.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Norman, and daughter, Sheri.

She is survived by her son, Scott Langham of Fate, Texas; and her sister, Linda Benson and husband Tom of Abilene, Texas; and several nephews and nieces.

The family is grateful for the care Helen received from Lyndale Memory Care in Abilene, Texas. Thank you to all the RAs, Med Techs and employees of this facility.
