She was born on the family farm near Lang, SK and was the youngest of the ten children. Helen received her education in Lang.

After her four children had been raised, Helen returned to the workforce, employed at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home and later in CSD at the Yorkton Union Hospital. Helen retired in 1993. Helen enjoyed playing cards, dancing, listening to music and travelling. She had a wonderful sense of humour and was a gifted self-taught pianist. Helen's passion was her family. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, who was always "standing by" to support and comfort those she loved and cared for. Her warm heart and giving nature made all feel welcomed and special. Helen loved her family deeply and extended her generous heart and her playful spirit with everyone. Helen was a natural beauty, a loyal friend, and a great companion to all. She was the glue that held our family together. Helen will be remembered as a great friend and a fun loving positive person, that her family and friends will surely miss.
