The Rev. Helen Ward Carry will always be remembered for how much she loved her God, her church and her family.
As her health started to decline, Rev. Carry told goddaughter Paulette Barrett: “When I make my transition and people ask you how I died, I want you to say to them the more important question is, how did I live?”
Rev. Carry, 96, former executive minister of Christ Universal Temple, died April 8, according to Leak & Sons Funeral Home, which is handling arrangements.
The former Chicago Public Schools administrator was first drawn in 1970 to the teachings of the late Rev. Johnnie Colemon, founder of Christ Universal Temple, a New Thought Christian megachurch.
