Life Legacy
MILLER, Helen (nee Leskiw) – After a long and full life, Hellen Miller passed away peacefully, with her family at her side, at the Greater Niagara General Hospital on Wednesday July 3, 2019 at the age of 97. Beloved wife of the late Walter Miller (2009). Cherished mother of Linda (Bill) of Thorold, Donna (Lex) of Toronto, the late Carol (March 2019), the late David (May 2019) and loving grandmother of Rachel West of Toronto and Kayla McIntee of London. She will be sadly missed by her brother Walter Leskiw and fondly remembered by Sherman Treadwell, Lisa Whelan, Jud McIntee and Dorothy Miller of Niagara Falls. Helen was born in Dauphin, Manitoba, but moved with her family as a child to the Niagara area, where she lived most of her life. She was always very independent and started working to support herself while still in her teens. She worked at many different jobs, including assembly and inspection at Dominion Chain, and Burns Manufacturing in Niagara Falls, as well as packaging at a chocolate factory in Toronto. Her chosen career was waitressing, which allowed her to meet people from all walks of life and parts of the world. She started this work at the Olympia Restaurant in Welland when she was just 15 years of age, and went on to work at various hotels in Niagara Falls, including the Park Hotel, Brock Hotel, Cairn Croft and El Rancho. She also ran her own restaurant for a while. After raising four children, Helen and her husband Wallie enjoyed traveling and spending time at their cottage and hunting camp. Helen also made time during her life for all of the activities she enjoyed, including organizing parties, dancing, reading and listening to music. She even had her own music and news program, which was broadcast in Ukrainian on CJRN radio station. Helen kept in touch with numerous family and friends, maintaining contact through cards, letters and phone calls. She will be sadly missed by all who she connected with throughout her life. Cremation has taken place. Friends are invited to attend a celebration of Helen’s life at the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St. Niagara Falls, on Saturday July 13, 2019 from 1 to 3 pm, followed by a Funeral Service at 3 pm at the funeral home.
