Helen M. Lucks

Helen Marjory Lucks, age 101, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on July 9, 2017, in Sebring, Florida.  She was born in Detroit, Michigan to Gustav and Emily Lucks, German immigrants, who came from Poland.  After attending Bible college, Helen felt a call to be a missionary, and after some delays because of World War II, she left for Africa on June 15, 1945.  She served under the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM) for 32 years in Nigeria, West Africa where she led Bible classes for children and did bookkeeping and secretarial work.  She retired in December of 1977 to help care for her aging parents, and then moved to the SIM Retirement Village in Sebring, Florida in 1994 where she has lived and served the Lord for the past 21 years.  She is survived by a brother, Robert Lucks, of Portland, Michigan.  A memorial service will be held at 10 AM on Thursday, July 20, 2017, at the SIM Chapel, 900 Andes Drive in Sebring, Florida.  Pastor David Altman, from Southside Baptist Church, will be officiating.  Contributions may be made in her memory to the SIM Retirement Village, 4114 Nigeria St., Sebring, FL  33875.
