Helen E. Harlow, 80, of Stafford County passed away Monday, Oct. 22, 2012, at Mary Washington Hospital.
Mrs. Harlow was born March 1, 1932, in Fauquier County. She drove a school bus for Stafford County public schools for 22 years. She adored the children and they all called her "Mom." Mrs. Harlow later worked for the shoe factory in Fredericksburg.

Survivors include her husband of 60 years, Claude Harlow Sr.; daughters Darlene Claudette Courtney and Debra Louise Tyson; granddaughter Kathy Louise Sullivan; and great-granddaughter Abigail Louise Sullivan. She also leaves behind her favorite dog, Barney.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Walter Thomas Elam Sr. and Lorelle Creel Elam; and son Claude Harlow Jr.
