Oof-da

Helen Marie Guthrie (Andrews), born June 19th 1953 in Casper,Wy passed away peacefully at her home on December 28th 2022 at the age of 69 or as she would say “29 and holding”. Helen was born in Casper, Wy to Dalton Kent (Bud) and Amy Vivian Andrews. Helen was the third of four beautiful Daughters. Helen attended both Kelly Walsh and Natrona County High School before completing her GED. She worked as a waitress and a candy striper before dedicating her time to her family as a homemaker and friend.

Early in life she shared a brief marriage to Mel Morrison. After an amicable separation, she still stayed close to his family. On February 25th 1981, Helen married the love of her life, Steve Guthrie. Together they had 2 kiddos, Trish Lee and Shaun Henry. Helen became a Grandmother in 1999 to Austin and then over the years gained seven more Grandchildren. Jennifer, Emma, Preston, Hannah, Alyssa, Evan and Zachary.

Helen was happy to play Cribbage, Pinnacle, and hand “n” foot. But, if you didn't play in turn she would “yip,yip, yip”. She loved her coffee, chinese, gambling, and walking with her bag to pick up litter. She would write everything down so she wouldn't miss a thing. Timers were not her friend because she would forget why she set them. Helen prided herself for donating gallons, upon gallons of blood, over many years to those who needed it. Her contagious cackle would let anyone know how happy she was, how loved you were, or if you were in incredible trouble.

She loved fiercely and is fiercely loved forever “this much more” every second of every day.

Preceded in death by many loved ones along the way. Steve Jay Guthrie (Husband), Amy and Glenn Henry (mother and step-father), Kent Andrews (father), Leora Shumway (sister), Susan Handley-McQueary (sister), Joe Smith and Jerry Valentine (brother in laws), Pete Peterson (bonus dad), Myrtle Deveda (Phillips) Guthrie (mother in law), Ron Guthrie (brother in law).

She is survived by Trish (daughter) Reeb and Chris York (son in law). Their children Austin Reeb, Preston and Alyssa York. Shaun (son) and Joy (daughter in law) Guthrie. Their Children Jennifer, Emma, Hannah, Evan and Zachary Guthrie. Ruth Andrews (step-mother), Barbara Andrews (aunt), Vivian Smith (sister who joined her a day after for their special journey), Tony Handley (nephew) and family, Wendy (niece) and Jack Palmer and family, Brenden Westbrook (nephew), Kathleen Shumway (niece), Dale Guthrie (brother in law) and family, Stan Guthrie (brother in law) and family, Connie Cropsey (sister in law) and family, Rita Petersen (bonus mom) and family, Lucy Garrison (friend for life), Sherrie Hettinger (friend for life), Carol Stoger (friend for life) and a Village of people who all love and miss her dearly.
