Obituary of Helen Jean Sadler
It is with deep sadness the family of Helen Sadler (née Clark) announces her passing on July 24, 2021 in her 90th year. Predeceased by her husband Gilbert (1984), she was the devoted mother of Deborah (Alan) Dumencu and Kathryn. Also survived by long time partner Lawrence (Larry) Tessier and his family, she was a cherished Grandma to four granddaughters: Jennifer(2018), Heather(James), Gillian(Jonathan), Zoë(Justin) and proud Gigi of eleven great-grandchildren and three great-great-granddaughters. Helen was predeceased by her parents Wilbert and Marion Clark, brother Don(2006) and sister Marion Reid(2015). She was the dear sister of Gaille (late Roger) Holliday and Wayne and is survived by many nieces, nephews and friends.
Born in Sarnia and raised in Leamington, Helen married and raised her family in Leamington where she was a skilled seamstress and an enthusiastic dance partner with Gilbert and Larry. She was a lifetime member of the Leamington United Church and, after 30 years of service, retired as bookkeeper from the H.J. Heinz Co. Retirement found her dancing throughout Es County, socializing and dining with many like-minded neighbours and friends.
The family is grateful to the staff of Franklin Gardens for the care and attention provided in recent months, especially in these most challenging times of Covid-19.
At Helen’s request, cremation has taken place. A private interment will take place at a later date. Memorial donations in Helen’s memory can be made to The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Erie Shores Health Foundation or a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, 519-326-2631. Online condolences may be shared at www.reidfuneralhome.ca Www.reidfuneralhome.ca/
