Healing Temple Ministries serving faithfully until her health 
failed. Mother McClains faith never wavered: she knew her 
walk was anchored in the Lord. Through any challenges she 
faced. Mother McClain would continue to say, God is 
good. 
As the matriarch of the family she cherished family and friends. 
She assisted the sick and provided support for all the mothers in the 
neighborhood. She loved to make everyone laugh abundantly and 
share her home with her community. Her love made you feel like 
family, which in return she was affectionately called Mother or Cun 
Helen. She instilled great morals and family values leading by 
example, A Virtuous Woman. 
Preceded her in death is her husband of 58 years, Henry McClain, 
Sr.. Also preceding her in death are three brothers Roger Mincey, 
Troy Mincey, and LeRoy Mincey.

I have finished now with this house of clay, 
Please kindly and carefully lay it away, 
And let me rest from this Ife of pain. 
Toiling in sunshine, storm and rain. 
Trying to help the sick and the poor, 
And turning no needy from my door. 
I strove to do my masters work. 
Never a duty did I shirk. 
I am tired now, so let me rest. 
Dont cry, Dont you know God knows best? 
Dont weep for me, for I am not dead, 
I have another house you know. 
Where only Gods redeemed can go. 
I do not need this house of clay. 
So, tenderly, carefully lay it away.
