Helen Swan was the wife of Geoffrey Swan, the mother of Charlie Swan, the grandmother of Bella, grandmother-in-law of Edward Cullen, and great-grandmother of Renesmee Cullen. She never appeared in the series, but she was mentioned at Bella's wedding.

Biography

History

It is mentioned in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide that she and her husband Geoffrey did not think they could have children, so Charlie was an unexpected, but welcome, surprise. He was born when Helen and Geoffrey were in their mid-40s.

By the time their son grew reached adulthood, Helen developed early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and Geoffrey's mobility was curtailed by severe arthritis, which kept Charlie from going to college.

After Charlie married Renée and had Bella, their conditions worsened. When Renée left with Bella, Charlie remained in Forks to care for his parents, though he really wanted to follow them. In 1991, within 6 months of each other, Geoffrey and Helen passed away, leaving Charlie alone.
