Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHELEN DOBROWOLSKI (nee ORASCH) With great sadness and grief, on February 24, 2014 at the age of 81 our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband of 63 years Frank, their children Wayne and wife Tommie, Trudy Ross, grandchildren Jennifer Ross and partner Yan Dumont, Jamie Ross, Evan, Monica Goonetilleke and husband Damien, great-grandson Quinn Dumont, sister-in-law Adele, as well as many nieces and nephews, their partners and children, and many friends. Helen was predeceased by an infant daughter Janice and her parents Tony and Jean Orasch. Helen and Frank spent 63 wonderful years together and loved to travel whenever possible to spend time with their children and family when they were in California, Florida, British Columbia, or closer to home in Winnipeg. Helen loved all children and doted as much as possible on all her grandchildren and newest great-grandchild addition to the family. It was her greatest joy in life. Cremation has taken place and a Memorial service will be held. The family wishes to invite friends and family to a celebration of Helen's life at Cropo Funeral Home, 1442 Main Street at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Flowers gratefully declined, but a donation if desired may be made to a charity of one's choice.

So sorry for your loss. We lived next door to Helen and Frank and they were truly wonderful neighbors. The boys Jim & Tim always referred to Helen as "Mrs. Helen" as they talked to her daily. My thoughts and prayers are for all of you at this time. - Posted by: Kathie Gaudes [Haacke] (Neighbor on Clonard) on: Mar 01, 2014
