Helen Leona Delk's Obituary
Helen Leona Delk June 7, 1931 – April 29, 2025
Helen Leona Delk, a beloved mother, grandmother, and dedicated community member, passed away on April 29, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born in Owasso, Oklahoma, on June 7, 1931, to Alyrseus Van and Pauline Louise (Hembrow) Rehm, Helen lived a life full of love, laughter, and dedication.
Helen spent her career as a meat wrapper, but her true passions lay in the simple joys of life—flowers, bowling, and crafts. She was deeply involved with the Akdar Shrine, participating with the Lady Oriental Shrine Unit, Ladies Indian Unit, Shrine Bowling Unit and supporting the Shrine Circus, while also serving as the High Priestess for a year. Her devotion to these organizations remained strong, even attending a Shriners meeting just days before her passing.
She is survived by her daughters, Karen Parsons and Deborah Parsons; her grandchildren, Myra Burke, Leona Thornburg, Denise Firey, Dale Parsons, and Charlie Parsons; great-grandchildren, Melissa Veldkamp, Chris Parsons, Britney Wilson, Quinton Firey, Alan Statum, Michael Statum, and Jacob Parsons; and great-great-grandchildren, Slade Veldkamp, Paxton Wilson, Lilah Wilson, Alivia Statum, Adalyn Statum, Aaron Statum, Chris Statum, Jayson Cloud, and Alexis Cloud, who will forever cherish her love and wisdom; as well as her sister, Laura Keith, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald C. Delk, four sisters, and one brother.
