The family moved to Roaring Springs, Texas, in 2011, where she began attending Patton Springs School. She graduated in 2016 from Patton Springs in 2016, where she was also homecoming queen her senior year. In 2017 she put everything on hold to join Live On internship Over the next two years she would develop a strong faith and a very intentional relationship with the Lord. As she stepped into life she connected with her future husband, Dustin Winebrinner. On March 7, 2020, they started dating and began actively planning their future together.

Helly was accomplished at writing and often wrote spoken words as she would gain revelation or insight from the Lord. She mastered the art of friendship by living a selfless life and constantly putting others' needs before her own. She loved to travel, and that mainly included going to see Dustin’s family in Arkansas or a lastminute road trip. Her faith and fight for her family was extreme and undeniable. She always went above and beyond to take care of them. Her contagious laughter, practical jokes and spontaneous mindset kept a smile on everyone’s face and laughs in the room. She would love to walk the dogs during sunset just to take advantage of the beautiful view. She was a very active member at Springs of Life church, where she impacted so many lives from the youngest to the oldest.
Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m. Friday July 1, 2022 at Full Gospel Church in Roaring Springs. Russell Chandler and John Murdoch officiated the ceremony under the direction of Zapata Funeral Home.
The family would like to thank Motley County EMS and the staff of Crosbyton Hospital for their help and professionalism during this difficult time.
