Mary Helen Janssen Needham November 17, 1937 - March 28, 2021 Mary Helen passed away peacefully in Houston, Texas on the morning of Palm Sunday, March 28, 2021. She lived to see 83 years of age, with 56 of those spent with her husband Frank Seely Needham. Frank left this earth April 20, 2014, Easter Sunday. As was her father before her, Mary Helen was born and raised in Galveston, Texas (born on the island or BOI as they say). Shortly after they were wed, she and Frank moved to Houston where they were long time members of the Bellaire Presbyterian Church. Mary Helen was a stay at home parent to raise her son Brett and later worked in the Houston real estate industry. Those who will grieve her loss the most are her son Brett Needham, daughter in law Karen Needham, granddaughters Tanya Mcgoey and Nicole Walsh, grandsons in law John Mcgoey and Tyler Walsh, great grandsons Bryan, Patrick, and Owen Mcgoey, nephew Frank Mainwaring and niece Kathy Marek. She will be laid to rest next to her husband (WWII veteran) Frank at the Houston National Cemetery next week with a family gravesite ceremony. Arrangements under the direction of Hardin Family Funeral Home of Spring Branch, Houston.
