When one city is nearly all you have ever known, it makes for some pretty special memories. If you want proof of that, just ask Sheryl Jones and her family. Sheryl moved to Helena when she was 7 years old 1978, and since then, has been her home.

Sheryl got married to her husband, Mark, in 1996. Following that, Mark joined her in Helena. In 2003, they had their one and only son, Evan, and this is the only place of residence that he has ever known outside of his college days at the University of Alabama.

Over the many years that Sheryl has been a Helena resident, she has been able to see the city grow from just a school, post office and a couple of churches to the busy scene that it is today. Some of her favorite things include the charming quaintness of Old Town, the ability to have anything she needs close by and the small-town hospitality.

One of the big things that the Joneses love about Helena is Christmas time. Sheryl has fond memories of that time of year, having participated in the Christmas parade when she was a child and now picking out their family Christmas tree every year at the lot across from the post office.
