HELEN MAGDALENA MCMULLIN (nee Kuntz) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen McMullin in the early morning of May 14, 2009, with her husband and two daughters at her side. Helen was 74 years old and had courageously fought cancer for 12 years. Helen is survived by Herb, husband of 41 years and daughters Sandra (Jim) of Calgary, AB, and Shannon (Dan) of Boston, MA, sister Rose, brothers George and Bernie, grandchildren Julianna and Alexandria, mother-in-law Margaret, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Helen loved life and surrounded herself with many friends and family members. A dedicated wife and mother, her primary focus was raising her two daughters and performing volunteer work at Grace Hospital. Over the past ten years, she found joy and love in spending time with her two granddaughters. Helen left a legacy of living to help others, placing the needs of her family, numerous friends and acquaintances ahead of her own. Her spirit lives on in those whose lives she touched but she will never be replaced.
