Helen Covington, known as Grandma Covey, was owner Tim’s maternal grandmother and a straightforward Tulsan. She spoke her mind clearly and enjoyed sharing laughs and gossip over a cup of coffee. Dignified but never pretentious, Helen was warm and welcoming, striking a balance between playful irreverence and composed grace. She treasured her family and friends, always making everyone feel instantly at home.
