Helen Maxine (Daniel) Plymell, age 92, of Roach, MO peacefully passed away on March 29, 2026 at Hermitage Nursing Home. Helen was born on April 26, 1933 to Everett and Mary Lou (Hooper) Daniel. She married Kenneth N. Plymell on January 1, 1951 at Oak Ridge Church. To this union three children were born.
Helen worked on the farm with Kenneth, took care of a home and their three children. She worked for several years at the cap factory in Pattonsburg and the Best Western in Bethany. In 1984, she and Kenneth moved to Pompano Beach, Florida. While there Helen worked as a clerk at Hertz Auto. Upon returning to the Lake of the Ozarks in 1993, Helen began working for Walmart in the office and then as a cashier. She retired from Walmart after 19 years at the age of 80.
Helen was an active member of Heath United Methodist Church, Harper Chapel United Methodist Church, Rebekah Lodge, Amicitia Society and was an active 4-H Club Leader.
As a young adult at home, she and her family enjoyed music and performing on Sundays with her uncles, brothers, mother and neighbors. She played softball and rode horses before her children became active and needed her attention and help. While still living on the farm, she enjoyed crafting ceramics and even purchased her own kiln to fire her creations. Some of her work was sold in a Columbia and a Jefferson City craft shop. While living at the Lake of the Ozarks, she took a floral and wreath arrangement class which she thoroughly enjoyed. You would find at least one wreath in almost every room of her home and she gifted others to family and friends. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crocheting and cooking for family. Each of her family members had at least one afghan. Helen loved feeding and watching the hummingbirds. At one location at the Lake of the Ozarks, she had so many hummingbirds that she was using 10-15 pounds of sugar a week. Helen enjoyed planting and caring for pots of flowers. Even though she had her favorites (red geraniums especially), she was always on the lookout for something new and interesting.
Helen is survived by her husband Kenneth, daughter Beverly, sons Rick (Christi) and Gary (Debbie), 4 grandchildren: April (John) LeJeune, Luke (B J) Plymell, Gwynne (Brad) Allen, Jennifer (Tim) Turner, 11 great grandchildren, 6 great, great grandchildren.
