Helen Manning Morton, 76, wife of Benjamin C. Morton, Jr. passed away Saturday, July 24, 2021. She was born August 2, 1944, in Barnwell, SC, a daughter of William H. and Sara G. Manning.

Helen grew up in Barnwell, SC and throughout her life enjoyed helping others. She loved to volunteer at local schools, her church, and the hospital.

She especially cherished her time playing games with her four grandchildren and baking them chocolate chip cookies. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.

Helen is survived by her loving husband, Benjamin C. Morton, Jr., of Pendleton; two daughters, Carolyn Morton Mohr and husband Gary, of Pendleton, and Mary Frances Morton Barnett and husband Karl of Athens, GA; a sister, Billie Breeden Manning of Columbia, SC; a sister-in-law Francie Manning Franklin; and four grandchildren, Benjamin "Benja" Gary Mohr, Kenneth "Andrew" Mohr, Hannah Elizabeth Barnett, and Owen Morton Barnett. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother Glenn McCall Manning.
