Helen Fox

Helen Fox was the estranged mother of Ruby Fox-Miligan.
Helen and her husband Anthony welcomed a daughter named Ruby in about April 1976. As a teenager, Ruby embarked on a relationship with Caleb Miligan. Helen and Anthony disapproved of the relationship and attempted to pay Caleb to stop seeing their daughter but he refused their money. When Ruby became pregnant, Helen and Anthony tried to force her to have an abortion but Ruby refused so Helen and Anthony turfed her out with nothing. Helen and Anthony later divorced.
By September 2024, Helen was dying so she tried to contact Ruby to make amends with her daughter before she passed away. However, Caleb intercepted Helen's phone call and visited Helen in hospital to speak to her himself. Caleb was still furious with Helen for the way she and Anthony treated Ruby thirty years prior and blackmailed her into transferring him £100k in return to getting Ruby to visit her. Helen was so desperate to see her daughter that she agreed.
The following day, a nurse got in contact with Ruby directly after Helen gave her Ruby's details, but by the time Ruby arrived at the hospital it was too late - Helen had died twenty minutes earlier. Helen was cremated on 4th October 2024 without a service or any mourners in attendance. In her will, Helen left her entire estate to her granddaughter Steph, the child Ruby was pregnant with when she disowned her.
