On January 29, 1968, Helen was united in marriage with Roy Little in Wichita, Kansas. This union was blessed with three children: Roy Jr., Leisa, and David. They lived in several towns before settling in Attica, Kansas.

Helen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt, dedicating her life to raising her family. She loved crafting, sewing, cooking, gardening, fishing, and drawing. After the kids were grown, and the grandchildren started arriving, family get togethers were of the highest importance to her. She absolutely lived for time together with all of her family. Through the years, she would join Roy in his semi so they could team drive. He gave her the handle name, Freckleface. She was a member of the Assembly of God Church in Attica, Kansas.
