She was born on June 22, 1940 in the village of Mavromata, Evrytania, Greece. She was the daughter of the late Vasilios Georgiou and Theodosia Xistras Georgiou. She was the oldest of four, who grew up in a small village in 1940s and 50s trying to navigate life in those conditions, while also living through a civil war. In 1960, she married George Nixon and they moved to Charlotte, NC to start a new life. In 1961, they welcomed their son, Konstatine (Dino), and spent many years altogether making memories that will last a lifetime. Helen worked as a seamstress for over 40 years and made lifelong friendships with clients and coworkers. Whether she was at work or at home, she always had a positive attitude and worked hard at everything she did. She loved to spend her time cooking for loved ones, gardening, and being with her granddaughters. In 2025, her great-granddaughter, Anna, was born and she was the light of her life. She will forever be remembered for her good sense of humor, her generosity, and her devotion to her family.
