Over the years Helen had many different jobs, such as school bus driver, courier and during the last 10 years of her working life she worked for Manitoba Home Care. Helen met her partner Stan while working as a courier in 1988. Helen was a very caring person who always helped others by doing things such as volunteering for Meals on Wheels and supported many children's causes such as Christian Children's Fund. She enjoyed dancing, knitting, crocheting, going to Folklorama and bingo. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her grandchildren by having sleep-overs, baking with them, taking them to the park or out for treats and spending time at the lake fishing with them.
