This is for Nicole Helms- Menslage, class of 1987- Memorial High School, but attended Westchester until it closed two years earlier.
Daughter of Don Wayne Helms & Jacqueline (Kavanaugh) Helms. Sister of Sabrina Deiree Helms & Danielle (Helms) Graham. Wife of Joseph Richard Menslage, [Married: January 23, 1993 - Harris Co., Texas]. Mother of Gabriel Thor Menslage, Hannah Faith Menslage, Jeremiah Menslage & Naomi Menslage.
Nicole was born in the Baptist Hospital in Beaumont and has lived in various places including Orange, Valdosta, Georgia and Houston for the greater part of her life. She attended Westchester High School until it closed and graduated from Memorial Senior High school in 1987. She studied at the University of Houston for a few years. She married Joseph Menslage in 1993 and they had four children: Gabriel, Hannah, Jeremiah and Naomi. Many adjectives could be used to describe Nicole: striking, beautiful, elegant, intelligent, kind, sensitive, loving, generous, considerate, thoughtful, patient, poised, unselfish, influential, honest and hopeful. Simply amazing somewhat sums it up. Of course, she was “the best mom ever.” She was and will always be loved by many, many people. Her spirit lives.
Survivors include her four children Gabriel Menslage (12), Hannah Menslage (10), Jeremiah Menslage (8) and Naomi Menslage (7), the childrens’ father (Joseph Menslage), parents (Don and Jacqueline Helms), her sister (Sabrina and her husband Steve Katz) from Florida, her baby sister (Danielle and her husband Robert Graham) from Mississippi, three nephews (James and Joshua Katz and Nicholas Graham), two nieces (Jillian Katz and Sophia Graham).
A benevolence education fund in memory of Nicole has been established to benefit her children. Contributions can be made to a “Benevolent Account” to be used as Educational Funds established by Don W. and Jacqueline K. Helms.
