Beloved alumna passes away

By Hannah Schaefer | Echo

Helen Beers went to be with the Lord on Monday, Oct. 28.

Beers, a loved beneficiary of the Taylor community, passed away at 80 years old, leaving behind a husband, six children and 15 grandchildren. Helen was heavily involved in the Taylor Women's Bible Study as well as the Taylor Women's Book Club.

She also participated in Helping Hand Ministry and attended Upland Community Church.

"I've known Helen ever since she's been [at Taylor University]. Her dad was really helpful when my dad was President," said Nelson Rediger, regional director for advancement and son of then-president Milo Rediger.

Although not well-known to students across Taylor campus, the impact Helen made behind the scenes will continue to shape generations to come.

The funeral took place today at 10 a.m. at Upland Community Church.
