Obituary of Helen Lepple

LEPPLE Helen H. was born October 16, 1914, to the parents of Charles and Mabel Hamilton, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a life long resident of Cincinnati and Terrace Park, Ohio. She went to her heavenly home with Jesus on June 21, 2013, and was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Charles J. Lepple. Helen was also preceded in death by her daughter, Ruth Ann Jackson (late husband, Don Campbell), on June 13, 2013, and her two dearly loved brothers, William and Earl Hamilton and Earl's wife and sister-in-law, Mary Ruth Hamilton. She is survived by her son, Robert C. Lepple and daughter-in-law, Joanne A. Lepple. She is also survived by four devoted grandchildren: Don Campbell, residing in Tennessee; Pam Campbell Shelton (husband, Ron), residing in Tennessee; Robert Timothy Lepple (wife, Jody), residing in Texas; and Andrew J. Lepple (wife, Susan), residing in Vermont. Helen has six great-grandchildren: Jessica Shelton, Austin J. Lepple, Trevor W. Lepple, Caden R. Lepple, Amelie W. Lepple, and Jacob C. Lepple. She also has quite a few nieces and nephews: Becky Hamilton Lamb, and Pam Hamilton Johnson, as well as David, Steve, Greg, Doug, Kirk (wife, Sue), and Randy Hamilton: also numerous great nieces and nephews. Helen has been blessed with faithful, wonderful friends, even to her last days. Many of these precious ones are from her church, Kenwood Baptist; and some from her Sunday School Class, the Home Builders. Having worked and lived in Cincinnati her whole life, she leaves great memories in the hearts of those who knew her. She worked for Cottage Building and Loan in Madisonville in her early years; then for Cincinnati Bell Telephone Company as a switchboard operator, and lastly, as a secretary to the President of Cedar Hills Farm Dairy. She was a loving beautiful wife, mother, and grandmother and aunt: her children and grandchildren, plus her great grandchildren are so very fortunate to have had her as a role model. We thank the Lord for the gift of Helen (Mom) in our lives.
