Helen was a prairie girl, born and raised on a farm in Alberta, she went to Nursing school at the age of 17 and graduated as an RN. She worked as an RN in Calgary, Enderby, Vernon and Kamloops. It was in Vernon BC where she met the love of her life, Ken, while working at the local tastee freeze. Helen shared her zest for life with Ken and they married in December of 1971. After working 4 years as an RN she transitioned to a career as a full time, wife, homemaker, mother and then grandmother (Grammie); she served her family faithfully in this capacity for 54 years. 
Helen loved the out doors, her roses, drives in the car and visits with her children and grandchildren. She loved crocheting, working on puzzles, playing crokinole and archery. 
In 1971 Helen was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and she unwaveringly served God until her last breath. She prayed faithfully for her family, always had a positive word of encouragement, and always put others concerns over her own. She loved to attend church, worship and listen to sermons. She faithfully claimed her healing and peacefully passed on to her reward in heaven. 
She is loved, cherished, will be missed, but not forgotten. She is waiting to be reunited with her family in heaven.
