HELENA MARIE TRUDEAU
(née AUDETTE)
Born November 10, 1923 in Laflèche, Saskatchewan and passed away March 13, 2022 in Winnipeg at 98 years old.
Héléna was predeceased by her husband Augustin Trudeau, and children, David and Diane.
She leaves to mourn her two daughters: Paulette (Jacques) and Lucille (Jules); 10 grandchildren - of Diane and Paul Desmarais: Mona, Lise, Denis, Monique, and Natalie; of Paulette and Emile Préfontaine: Cécile and Marc; of Lucille and Jules Lamoureux: Nadine, David, and Joel; 22 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Her grandchildren and great- grandchildren were her pride and joy! Mom's household duties, culinary skills, and keeping us kids well dressed showed her talents as a knitter and seamstress, bordering on perfection!
As a dedicated school secretary, she loved doing "anything" for HER students and teachers and kept in close contact with several teacher friends! After retiring she missed her job immensely, still being the organizer and keeping track of everything for all of us! Routine was her middle name! Everyone who spoke to her called her a SWEETIE!
Always by Dad's side, they enjoyed eating out, travelling, and watching football and hockey together.
Her final home at "Foyer Valade" gave her "a new Home and Family" as all her caregivers tell us how interested in their lives and interesting she was to chat with. The same goes with old friends and family especially keeping in touch with her far away nieces and nephews!
So being always in her tiny room; her haven, she never got bored or down! The daily Free Press read kept her in touch with the outside world as well as her favourite T.V. news, curling, and cooking shows?? Go figure she couldn't eat "regular food"!
Our family would like to thank everyone at Actionmarguerite St. Vital for their wonderful loving care. We also thank God for her coming to Manitoba from Regina to learn "Français" or else we wouldn't be here!
A notre chere élégante maman et mémere.
Vous êtes toujours genereuse patiente, intelligente, et accucillante.
Vous serez grandement manquée et
jamais oubliée.
Nous vous aimons beaucoup et toujours.
Funeral Mass was held at Paroisse Notre-Dame-de-la-Miséricorde in Ile-des-Chênes and Héléna was laid to rest in the Parish Cemetery beside her beloved Augustin. A recording of the service is available to view by clicking 'Join Livestream' on Héléna's obituary at www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

Nos sincères sympathies à Lucille et Jules et toute la famille d'Héléna. Quelle femme extraordinaire que j'ai connue au cours des mes années d'enseignement à Ile des Chênes lorsque Héléna était secrétaire à l'école. Une femme toujours prête à rendre service au travail mais aussi dans la communauté. Nous avions eu l'occasion de revoir Héléna à Action Marguerite lorsque nous allions chanter et jouer de la musique pour les résidents. Une femme qu'on a jamais oublié et qu'on n'oubliera jamais. - Posted by: George & Denise Perron (work colleague) on: Mar 19, 2022
