Never was sure what her real hair color was but onething I never doubted was how much she loved all us. She could playa mean game of jacks, do a great soft shoe, and my parents were wonderful dancers; we grew up in a home where we learned to waltz, polka, jitter bug, fox trot...all of it. My parents would glide across the dance floor, looking lovingly into each others eyes. Mom loved to dressup, and when she walked into a room everyone noticed., whether red head or blonde! Her biggest flaw was she was a chain smoker. In the 60's she would go get her hair done once a week, then wrap it up in toliet paper to "keep it looking nice"; however, before her feet ever hit the floor, she was lighting up...I was always sure she'd set herself on fire! Use to tell her, how embarrassing it was going to be for us kids to explain how her "toliet paper" caught fire and killed her! She died much to young, only 49. We miss her! tp Spillane, Barbara L Age: 5 Year: 1930 Birthplace: Roll: T626_1042 Race: Page: 16A State: Michigan ED: 275 County: Wayne Image: 0097 Township: Detroit Relationship: Daughter Surname Given Name Middle Name Sex Birth Date Death Date Birth Place Death Place Social Security # Mother's Maiden Name Father's Surname HELMICK BARBARA L FEMALE 13 Sep 1924 2 Dec 1973 MICHIGAN ORANGE 382202627 Surprise Birthday...
