HELEN ELLIS

It is with deeply saddened hearts we announce the passing of our mother Helen Ellis on August 21, 2020, at the age of 92.
She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, James, son Gary, her sister Jean, and her parents, Michael and Maria Kowalyshyn. Mom will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her daughter Linda (Terry) Penner, son David, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
The family would like to thank the staff at Maples Personal Care Home for their care and compassion.
Per Helen's wishes, cremation has taken place and private celebration of her life will be at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Helen's memory to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
