Born in Victoria, Helen was a graduate of Vic High and Royal Jubilee Hospital School of Nursing (1952).
Helen cared for others throughout her life; it was second nature as a nurse.
Her accomplishments were many and varied. They included helping to open St Joseph’s eye ward and Glendale Lodge. Helen developed emergency preparedness procedures and in-service training videos long before this was common. She was constantly learning new skills. One such skill was therapeutic touch which she brought to Glendale and the Holistic Nurses Group on Vancouver Island. A long-time member of RNABC, she was very active helping to preserve Pemberton Memorial Chapel at RJH. She also served as RJH Alumnae president for three years.
Helen enjoyed boating, traveling to New Zealand, Bermuda, and the UK with her husband Geoff. She also spent time writing stories about our family dogs and resident eagles on their farm.
Predeceased by her father Alexander, mother Jessie and her brother Clarke, cousins Grace and Alan, sister-in-law Anna and Ruby, brother-in-law Ron.
Helen is survived by husband of 66 years Geoff, sons Brian ( Louise) and Wayne (Laurie), granddaughter Danica and grandson Yann. Also, by brother George, sister-in-law Barbara and many nephews and nieces. Helen will also be missed by many relatives in Alberta, Vancouver, Scotland, England, Ireland, and Seattle.
A family celebration of Helen’s life will be held at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice or Pemberton Memorial Chapel at RJH.
