Helen M. Baxter, 87, joined her loving husband, Howard “Bo” Baxter, in Heaven Sunday, June 17, 2018. Helen loved being with her family. She enjoyed taking walks, watching birds, working on the lawn and fixing up and painting houses. Helen spent 27 years in Arizona and loved every moment in the sunshine and heat. When not enjoying the outdoors, she like to work on jigsaw puzzles and drink coffee. Helen leaves behind her four devoted children, Judy (Frank) Belew, Terry (Kathy) Baxter, Gerry (Jim) Peters and Rose (Bob) Speier; 10 adoring grandchildren; 17 cherished great-grandchildren and 2 treasured great-great grandsons. She is also survived by her brothers, Matz, Andy and Charlie Racke along with many dear nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Helen’s name to Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org/cincinnati/. Celebration of Helen’s Life will be held Friday, June 22 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm; memorial service will start at 5:30 pm at Fares J. Radel Funeral Home, 822 York St Newport, KY 41071.
