Obituary for
Helen Margaret Adams (Richenback)
Adams, Helen
October 24, 1926 – January 11, 2020
Helen Adams, 93, passed away peacefully with family at her side.
Loving wife of the late Jack, for 66 years; wonderful mother to her daughters Judith (Robert Black) and Catherine (Sal Di Bella); caring grandmother to Julia and John Di Bella, and Madeline and Rachel Black.
Helen grew up in North Bay and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949 from the University of Toronto, where she met Jack. Throughout their strong marriage and life in Kitchener, she devoted herself to supporting Jack and lovingly raising her two daughters. She enjoyed painting and was a talented seamstress and knitter. Helen was blessed with excellent health and a sharp and curious mind enabling her to live independently in the family home, enjoying her family and friends, playing bridge and computer games. We will miss her dearly.
A reception will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 2-4 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Private cremation has taken place.
