Fairbrother

Helen Partlow Fairbrother died March 19, 2015 in Liberty, TX at her home on Grand Avenue.

Helen was 99, just three months shy of her 100th birthday. She was the daughter of the late R.G. Partlow and Voe Calhoon Partlow. Helen was born on June 8, 1915 in the same house on Grand Avenue where she spent her last years and where she died. She was the second child and the oldest daughter in a big, loving, rambunctious family. Helen began sharing the house with her brother, Samuel Partlow, two years before he died in 2004. Her sister, Elizabeth Partlow Wilson, later moved in to share the home and continues to live there.

Helen attended Liberty Elementary and then Liberty High, where she was the valedictorian of her class. She then attended the University of Texas and majored in Business Administration. After dropping out for some years to work during the depression, she returned to school, graduated, moved to Houston, became an Executive Secretary at Esso (as it was then), met and married her husband, Horace Walton Fairbrother, who was then a chemical engineer. They married at Liberty Methodist Church in 1941. Helen moved to Baltimore, MD where her husband became Rector of St. Matthias Episcopal Church (after time at Divinity School in Sewanee), and after twenty-seven years in Baltimore, retired and came back to Liberty –home.

Helen is best remembered for her hospitality and graciousness – there were many gatherings of church groups and friends in her home—for her good humor, managerial ability in organizing church suppers and other events, and her equanimity. And, of course, we close family and friends remember her best for being the mother of six children and beloved friend, aunt and sister. She was a member of several church groups, including Daughters of the King, Episcopal Church Women and the Altar Guild, as well as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents, husband; The Rev. H.W. Fairbrother Jr, brothers; Ross Gerald Partlow, Thomas Samuel Partlow, sisters; Rose Partlow and Geraldine Young. She leaves behind to cherish her memory, sons; Blair Fairbrother and wife Fran of Forest, VA, Tim Fairbrother and wife Debra of Starkville, MS, Ross Fairbrother of Arlington, VA, Phillip Fairbrother and wife Cheryl Smart of Westminster, SC, daughters; Gerry Fairbrother and husband John Smith of Santa Fe, NM, Susan Fairbrother and husband Michael Rubano of Encinitas, CA, grandchildren; Helen Margaret Hendrickson, Inga Hendrickson, David Scott Fairbrother, Karen Irizarry, Scott Fairbrother, Scarlett Wallace, Sam Fairbrother, Sarabeth Fairbrother, Rachel Smart, Trevor Smart, Jonah and Noah Smith, fifteen great-grandchildren, sister; Elizabeth Partlow Wilson and seven nieces and nephews.
