Born in Komarno Helen dedicated her life to her family and community. She was a schoolteacher and childcare director and known for her talented calligraphy. Her kindness, wisdom, and gentle spirit touched all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth.

At Helen’s wishes there will be no service. Flowers gratefully declined. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the WRHA for the excellent care she received, especially the home care.
