Helen was a loving caring wife and mother spending most of her married life supporting her husband, working hard alongside him and providing a wonderful home environment for her 5 children. When her nest emptied Helen spent 25+ years volunteering at the MCC thrift store, making lasting friendships and enjoying her time spent there. Helen lived her faith and impressed on her children the importance of accepting Christ and being born again. She did this in her quiet unassuming manner. Her prayers for her family were constant. Known for her love, great cooking and her welcoming home it was always a joy for children and grandchildren to be in her home. She accepted her children and grandchildren unconditionally. Helen has been predeceased by her husband, Albert, her parents and 6 siblings. Interment was held August 20th, 2019 at the Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery, Abbotsford BC.
