November 15, 1936 – August 05, 2020

Helen was born in Argentina. She and Robert and their three children emigrated to Canada in 1985.
Helen was a lifelong volunteer. In Oakville she was an active member of IODE for 25 years. She was passionate about “education”, where grants and bursaries were assigned to students to further their education.
Helen was an avid gardener both in Argentina and Canada. After Robert’s death she found great peace and beauty in her early morning walks by the lake in Bronte and the walks “amongst the trees”.
Helen loved a good game of bridge and made lots of friends through the game. She valued her friends and enjoyed spending time with them. She will be missed by many.
The family would like to thank the many angels (PSWs, nurses and nurse practitioners) that provided palliative care at her condo. We would have not have managed without you.
