From Bob Cook ('67) of VA - 08/18/16, 3:07 PM - "Helen Joyce Pittman":
My aunt, Helen Joyce
(Pittman) Kea, died on Sunday, 8/14/16. She suffered a long illness and
died with her family close by. They live in Santa Maria, California. She graduated from NNHS. Her family wants to include this in her obituary, but we don't know which year she graduated. If anyone can provide this information, please send it to: rcook185@cox.net and gregorys5@aol.com
Oh, Bob, I'm so sorry to hear
this! You and your family have my deepest sympathies.
I have a copy of the 1950 Anchor (but not the 1949 or 1951 editions). Nevertheless, I was unable to locate Helen's senior portrait. |

NEWPORT NEWS - Helen Joyce
Pittman Kea was born on March 15th, 1933. She went to join our father, the
love of her life, on August 14, 2016. She will be greatly missed by many,
but we celebrate her long, awesome life. Mom was born and raised in Newport News, VA, graduating high school in 1950. She then married Irby James Kea on October 4, 1952. Together they raised four children. After Jim's passing in March of 1989, mom never dated, saying once you have had the best, why bother. She also said she had plenty of kids, grandkids and great-grandkids to keep her busy. Helen is survived by four children, Leanne (Curtis) Gregory, Brian Kea, Jeanna (Joseph) Wiley, and David Kea. Also grandchildren, Heather (Adrian) Zamora, Joshua Honey (RaeLeen Alford), and Curtis J Gregory (Britney Edens), along with 7 great-grandchildren, and brother, Guy (Beth) Pittman, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and their children.

Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my
heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
