Helen and Les lived at 126 Sunnyside in Woodhaven, St. James for 46 years and only recently had moved to their lovely apartment in Kiwanis Courts on Ness Avenue. Throughout the years, Helen enjoyed her curling, her bridge, and her golf as a long-time member of Breezy Bend Country Club. Helen loved to travel and found her greatest pleasure in the many trips she and Les took around the world. Helen had many wonderful friends and they will all truly miss her gracious and ever cheerful nature and remarkable positive attitude. Her most endearing quality was her non-judgmental character, in her friendships and in her outlook on life. Les wishes to thank all friends for their expressions of love and kindness at this time and expresses his gratitude for the dedicated and compassionate care given to Helen by all of her caregivers in Palliative Care at the St. Boniface Hospital.
