Mary Helen Settlemoir, 99, of Piggott, Arkansas, passed away on December 7, 2025, at Piggott HealthCare & Senior Living.

She was born in Piggott on November 10, 1926, the daughter of the late Floyd "Buck" and Dora Dell (Nicholas) Cosby.

Mary Helen was united in marriage to Louis Sheldon Settlemoir and to this union two children were born.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Sheldon Settlemoir; her son, Ronnie Settlemoir; and her daughter, Judy Brown.

Mary Helen was a longtime member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. She was a devoted homemaker whose hands were rarely still—she loved sewing, crocheting, and knitting, and blessed her family with countless handmade pieces over the years. She enjoyed watching birds from her window and took great pride in her beautiful flowers, always tending them with care. Her famous sugar cookies were a family treasure. In addition to caring for her home and family, Mary Helen spent many years faithfully handling the bookwork for her husband's business, Settlemoir Construction.
