HELEN E. OLEKSIUK (nee SMALL) Born in Yorkton, SK September 29, 1928. Helen died peacefully on February 18, 2007 at Riverview Health Centre after a brief and sudden illness. She is predeceased by her parents, Virginia and Ernest Small. Also by her brothers, William and Victor Small, both of whom served with P.P.C.L.I. in Korea. She is survived by and will be lovingly remembered by her husband Paul; daughter Joan Larson; sisters, Lenora Kobewka of Edmonton, Marie Weitzel of Vancouver; sister-in-law Mary Wakula of Winnipeg, and numerous nieces and nephews. Among her greatest enjoyments were gardening, baking, music and animals which she loved to share with everyone. She had a big heart and a smile to match. The family would like to extend their thanks to the Paramedics, St. Boniface Hospital and Riverview Health Centre for the efficient and caring manner in which they carried out their duties. Also to the Wheeler Funeral Chapel, which at Helen's request, a private service and cremation has already taken place.
