Helen also is fondly remembered by her twelve grandchildren, Jill, Laura, Avary, Carly, Elena, Jennifer, Darren, Devin, Paige, Rae-Lynn, Nicholas and Mitchell. Helen had a great love of art and music. She mastered the violin as a child and studied under L.L. Fitzgerald at the Winnipeg School of Art. She worked at Bison Studio first as a colourist and then as one of the first women photographers in Winnipeg to record wedding ceremonies. In 1948 she married Bud and together they had five children in each of the next three decades. Before retiring she was employed at Judiths Bridals where she made many friends. In recent years she was a member of the Winnipeg Sketch Club and sang with the choir at St. Timothys.
