Helen was born in 1929 and raised in The Pas, Manitoba where she also trained to be a nurse and met her husband, Graham. Although Graham’s work initially took them across Canada, they finally settled in Burlington, Ontario and were long-time residents of Oak Crescent. Helen loved her work at Joseph Brant Hospital and never lost interest in medical developments. In her retirement years she enjoyed family gatherings, garage sale finds, Blue Jay games, good food, interesting books and discussions with her friends at Amica Stoney Creek.

A private family service will be held with interment at Greenwood Cemetery.

The family would appreciate donations to the Joseph Brant
