Posted on: Saturday, July 27, 2024Helen was a lovely, smart lady with a great sense of humour. I remember her laugh/chuckle especially when we were working on the sequicentennial quilt and other quilts at the quilting group that met outside the church office.
She cared about her family – especially her grandchildren and would tell us how they were doing. She will be missed. Sadly, we will be away on the 4th and will not to be able to come to to the gathering on the 4th.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
