HELEN DOREEN KLASSEN (nee KEHLER) November 10, 1939 - November 19, 2017 It is with profound sadness and joy that we announce the passing of Helen Doreen Klassen (nee Kehler), age 78. She bravely fought cancer for a year and passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior on November 19, 2017. Helen was born near Winkler, Manitoba in 1939. Helen met David Klassen in 1958, and they got married July 4, 1959. Together in Winnipeg, they raised a family of five children whom she loved very much. In 1988 Helen and Dave moved west to BC, living in Maple Ridge first, then finally in Abbotsford. Helen is survived by two sisters, Irene and Delores; and one remaining brother Jake. She is also survived by her loving and supportive husband of 58 years David. Her five children, Rick (Lisa), Randy, Kim (Ken), Shauna (Brian), and Trevor (Amy) will miss her very much. She also leaves six cherished grandchildren, David, Lisa, Jessica, Amber, Brandon and Joshua. We thank all staff and volunteers at Holmberg House Hospice in Abbotsford for their excellent care these last nine weeks. Feel free to join us as we celebrate Helen and her life with Jesus Christ. Memorial service for Helen Klassen will be held: Date: Saturday, November 25, 2017 Time: 2:00 p.m. Place: Sevenoaks Alliance Church 2575 Gladwin Rd., Abbotsford, BC
