HELEN BURAK

December 6, 1934 – April 3, 2025


Aunt Helen passed away peacefully at Victoria Hospital after a short illness. She was the second youngest of ten children raised by Michael and Mary Burak of Medika, MB. Helen was predeceased by her parents and her siblings: brothers Marion (Dianne), John Burik (Anita), William (Ellice), Victor, Joe (Ann) and sisters Eva Fraser (Ian) Anne Buriak, Michelda (George) Scott. She is also predeceased by niece Karen Janz (Burik). Helen leaves to mourn her youngest sister Josephine, and many nieces and nephews.

Aunt Helen was very independent and primarily used bus services to Polo Park Mall, Grant Park Mall, and downtown, as well as visiting family members.

Helen was a kind generous person, regularly giving to The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, The Winnipeg Humane Society, Show Kids You Care, and many, many more. Her pet cats were of special importance and love, with the Humane Society being a source for rescue and a favourite charitable recipient.

A service of remembrance will be held at Green Acres Funeral Home, 1 Green Acres Lane, Winnipeg, MB on Tuesday, April 22 at 2:00 pm.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to one of the above charities or to a charity of choice.

Rest in peace Aunt Helen. May God bless you and keep you. Your life was a testament to love, resilience, and the beauty of human connection. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
