ORLANDO – The most recent winner of the Rich and Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award, Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton said on Thursday that he will remember the late matriarch of the DeVos family as ``a caring lady.’’
Helen DeVos, wife of Amway co-founder and Magic owner Rich DeVos and a difference-making philanthropist for decades, died on Wednesday following complications from a stroke. She was 90 years old.
Payton, who won the Magic’s annual enrichment award in the spring for his tireless work in the Central Florida and Louisiana communities, said Mrs. DeVos made quite an impression on him with her desire to always help others.
