HELEN  ELIZABETH  JACKSON,  91 YEARS OF AGE OF Summersville, passed away Saturday December 20, 2025, at the Ansted Center. She was the daughter of the late James P. "Mike" and Emogene Pauline Foster McCutcheon and was born at Gad July 21, 1934. Helen was the retired Director of medical records at Summersville Memorial Hospital for twenty-five years. She was a member of the Summersville Memorial United Methodist Church, where she was in charge of alter flowers for thirty years.

Helen was a talented artist who was active in the Summersville Art Club for several years, most recently serving as treasurer in the group. Her talent was evident early in life and as a result of this special gift, she received a scholarship and attended Art School in Miami, Florida after high school graduation. Her illustrations were used in Nicholas County High School yearbooks, on greeting cards for Bright of America, and in numerous sales ads for various companies. She will be most known for her works of art on canvas, having painted John F. Kennedy, the Pieta, the Apollo moon landing, King Tut, portraits of family members and friends, and many WV scenes including the New River Gorge Bridge and Mail Pouch Tobacco barns. She enjoyed painting, especially with her friends at the Nicholas Community Action.

She was also preceded in death by her husband Sherman E. Drumm, brothers James Robert "Rabbit" McCutcheon and infant brother Roger McCutcheon
