She was a long-time volunteer at St. Joseph’s Nursing Home.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Fred Douglas Lodge for looking after Helen. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I send my deepest sympathy to Jim, Debbie and Kathy in the loss of your Mom and mother in law. The loss of a Mom is unbearable and words can never truly console. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May Memories comfort. LAURA FURNIVAL KELOWNA BC - Posted by: Laura Furnival (friend of family) on: Jan 06, 2026

  • Helen, you could never sit still...always had to be knitting and donating the mitts, towels, afghans to the needy. You worked hard all your life and made the best of it. You had a long, healthy life and are resting now. My sincere condolences to Debbi, Jim and family - Posted by: Carol Rybczuk (Friend) on: Jan 06, 2026

  • To Deborah, Jim and family we offer our sincere condolences. Mom was a very special lady. When health permitted, she was always there to support us, and share her world famous egg salad sandwiches, made with love with all but Deb(Deb doesn't like) so mom would make her something different. "A heart of gold stopped beating, hard working hands went to rest." In my thoughts and prayers. Marcy (Gary) - Posted by: Marcy Saunders (friend) on: Jan 04, 2026
