Helen is survived by loving nieces, Irene (Michael), Gloria, Evelyn and Adele; nephews, Lorne and Henry (Edith); sisters-in-law, Lucille and Stella; and many other relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her husband William (October 1983); siblings, Paul, Mary, Leon, Rose and John. Helen was born in Narol, MB and looked after her ailing mother for many years. She married William in October 1939 and enjoyed being a homemaker. They travelled extensively throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico. In later years they enjoyed camping, primarily in Ontario. Helen was a very gentle and caring person. She loved having company drop by and everyone was welcome in her house. She lived in her own home until August 2004, then due to declining health, moved into a nursing home. Due to her gentle nature, she was loved by all the staff. The family wishes to thank the nursing staff for all their care and compassion. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, March 9 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. with Rev. Msgr. Louis McCloskey as officiant. Interment will follow in Elmwood Cemetery.
