Heleana Astrid Glaicar (nee Meyers), 77 years of age passed away suddenly on Thursday November 10th, 2022. Heleana was born April 3, 1945, to George and Freida Meyers in New Westminster BC.
Heleana was predeceased by her husband Len, brothers Wayne and Gerard and parents George and Freida. Heleana is survived by her 3 sons Bruce (Tracey), Don (Marena) and Brian (Bobbi) four grandchildren Kelsie, Kallie, Jordan and Jesse, along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
Heleana had a large amount of family back in Ontario that were always on her mind and when possible she would go out to visit or they would come here.
Helena grew up in Barrier, BC on a remote farm and at an early age had moved away from home to Kelowna, BC where she attended nursing school in early 1960’s. Heleana and Len married in 1966 and lived on their farm on Grandview Flats for 50 years. Heleana and Len grew asparagus for many years and was locally known as the “The Friendly Asparagus Patch”. Heleana enjoyed gardening, cooking, crafts, sewing and knitting. She also enjoyed going fishing, camping and would also enjoy going out hunting with Len and sons.
Heleana suffered a stroke later in life in 2011 that left her in a wheelchair but her positive attitude, courage and determination to try and overcome her disabilities was truly inspiring.
« Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love » – Alabama
