HELEN BOHONOS Helen was born in Edmonton, AB, in July 1915. She was raised in Winnipeg with her brother Zenon and her sister Lucille by her parents Anna and Dr. Henry Yonker. Helen was educated in the business arts but music was an important part of her life. She was an accomplished pianist. In 1948, she married choir director Walter Bohonos and they resided in Winnipeg. After Walter's passing in 1997, Helen relocated to Lethbridge, AB, to be closer to her sister and her family. In recent years, at St. Michael's Health Centre, she enjoyed being part of the resident music program. Helen passed away a few months before her 95th birthday. Cremation has taken place. A graveside service has been held at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens.
