High Point, NC - Helen Delores Garner Tedder, 87, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at WFBH-High Point Medical Center.

Helen was born in High Point on November 25, 1933 to the late Jerome Garner and Vera Kersey Garner. Her husband, Robert Henry Tedder, and their son, Robert Lynn Tedder, also preceded her in death.

Helen enjoyed golf, line dancing, and crafting, especially making ceramic Christmas trees.  She also loved animals, and was known to stop traffic for wayward dogs.  All who knew her will miss her kindness, her humor, and her spunk.
