Lovingly remembered by her sons, Len (Leda), Danny (Susan), Robbie (Irene), her sister Theresa (Norman), her six grandchildren, Lori (Lonnie), Kim (Daveen), Lyle (Laura), Bill, Dustin (Jessie), Jeff (Danielle), 14 great-grandchildren, Nathan (Karlie), Kelsey (Justin), Lucas (Hayley), Aiden, Max, Stella, Jordan, Carter, Haddin, Daniel, Cordelia, Taylor, Mitchell (Carly), Hope (Colby), six great-great-grandchildren, Dreydon, Saidee, Noah, Eric, Holly, Wrenley, nieces and nephews.
Mom grew up on the family farm and attended High Plains School. She married Dad on November 6, 1946, and together they raised their family in Poplarfield. She was very happy in Poplarfield, often mentioning how everyone came together for the community. She looked forward to bingo nights, wedding socials, birthdays, community and church functions. She was always there to help out. Mom was an excellent cook and always ready to feed whomever came to visit.
Mom and Dad enjoyed their many trips across Canada, visiting family and friends. Their trip to the Ukraine in 1996 was very special to her, visiting the birthplace of her parents. She would also look forward to the annual weekend getaway to Grand Forks with some of the family. Upon their return there was already talk about going again the following year. In later years it was daily trips to the coffee shop. After Dad had passed and because Mom never did drive it was either walk or find a driver. During the summer months she even had a driver for the golf cart.
In 2017 after 89 years in Poplarfield it was getting difficult being alone so mom moved into assisted living in Arborg. She adjusted quickly to her new home, making new friends and enjoying her move. She enjoyed spending most of the day in the common area where everyone would gather. She loved people and could always be found talking to the other tenants and if not on the phone, then in her suite.
During the last few years her health was declining and in March she was admitted to the Percy E. Moore Hospital and later transferred to the Arborg Hospital.
The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at the Gimli Hospital, Percy E. Moore Hospital and Arborg Hospital for the excellent care they provided her.
A special thank you to the assisted living staff, home care staff, supportive housing staff and tenants for your care and kindness. Mom was very thankful and greatly appreciated all that you did for her.
A Celebration of Life for Helen will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at the Poplarfield Community Hall in Poplarfield, Manitoba. Father Yarolslav Budukevych will be officiating with interment to follow at the Poplarfield Community Cemetery.
Mom, we will always carry your memory in our hearts.
Love Len (Leda), Danny (Susan),
Robbie (Irene) and families.

Sad to hear of the passing of my Aunt Helen. May you join those who have gone before you; including your eldest sister, and my mom, Anne (bee Zasitko) Ledohowski. I have many memories of joining you in Poplarfield around the table for an authentic Ukrainian meal and visiting my Baba & Gido next door. May you find a a full & peaceful tomorrow as you had created for yourself here, & your lengthy existence here in on earth. R.I.P. During times such as this I choose to share the following thoughts: In the grand theater of existence, where the curtains of fate draw open for each of us, it matters not whether our days are adorned with the splendor of a life well-lived or drenched in the emptiness of missed opportunities. In the end, the relentless hand of time delivers the same verdict to us all - we all shall face the inevitable embrace of mortality. Therefore, let us not be constrained by the fear of our mortality, but rather, let us seize the precious moments gifted to us with fervor and zest. Live not merely as spectators in the unfolding drama of life, but as the protagonists, the auteurs of our own stories. Embrace the beauty of existence, and let love, that most potent elixir of the soul, flow freely through our veins. For in the symphony of life, we are the conductors of our own destiny, and it is through the harmony of living and loving that we etch our indelible mark upon the universe. Doesn't matter who you are; how tough, famous, rich, beautiful, talented or powerful. 𝗡𝗢 𝗢𝗡𝗘 IS PERMANENT‼️ FLESH IS WEAK. Only the soul is immortal. LIVE your life living; don't live your life dying. Memento Vivere. Remember you have to live. Carpe Diem. Seize the day. *Memento Mori. Remember, you will die. "*Memento mori" (Latin: "remember (that) you will die") is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. - Posted by: Ron Ledohowski (Nephew) on: Jul 13, 2024
