Helen worked hard all her life. She always made the time to drive through a blizzard to watch her boys play hockey and never complained and remained gracious and compassionate. She was blessed with a positive attitude and the ability to instill joy and kindness in others around her. You would never leave her house without a smile, or a full belly of homemade perogies.

Some of Helens fondest memories were growing up in the countryside and walking to Halicz school. She loved to be surrounded by nature. Her eyes would light up talking of picking wildflowers, berries and mushrooms. She loved to hear the birds sing as she sang like a songbird herself. She loved the sway of the golden wheatfields and fertile soils of rural Saskatchewan… most of all she loved her family with all her heart.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all the staff at Holy Family Care Home for all the loving care and compassion given to our Mother.

Mom, you will be forever missed and always loved.

In keeping with Helen’s wishes, there will be no service, but a celebration of life at a later date.
