Mrs. Greathouse was born in 1908 in Graford, Texas, in Palo Pinto County. She was one of five children, having three sisters and one brother. Her father was an attorney and her mother a housewife.

She went to school in Tahoka, Texas, and in the late 1920’s, met the love of her life, Barney R. Greathouse. They married in September of 1929 and moved to Midland, Texas in December of 1929.

In 1933 they bought the inventory of a failed drug store and opened their own in downtown Midland. In 1955 they moved from downtown to The Village. Helen worked beside her husband, doing much of the purchasing for the business, for over 37 years.

They sold to Walgreen’s in 1970, and Barney passed away in 1973. They traveled all over the world and at one time had fished in every free country in the world. Helen always liked to brag that she caught more than Barney and could also outhunt him!

In later years, Helen became much involved with M. A. R.

C. and the CPC Center, as well as Manor Park. She was a caring, giving individual and had an especially warm spot for any and all children (or adults) with any physical or mental handicap or challenge.

Helen gave personally to these causes and to her church, First United Methodist, in Midland. In 1997, Helen created the Helen Greathouse Charitable Trust, which was to become the foundation and source of her leaving her legacy by giving back to the community she truly loved. Helen passed away in 2001, but her legacy is only beginning.
