HELEN CHERAK CARNIE
June 9, 1933 - Plumas, Manitoba
August 8, 2021- Calgary, Alberta
Her passing is deeply felt by her daughter Candace, her remaining sibling Sonia Krantz (nee Cherak), and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Ned Charles in 1996 and by her daughter Darcia in 2006.
Helen was a wonderful mother, a devoted teacher, a talented artist, and an inveterate cat lover. She was very well-read, had a unique sense of humour, and handled whatever life dealt her pragmatically and with optimism. She was dearly loved and will be as deeply missed.

I had the privilege of having Mrs. Carnie as a teacher at Heritage Elementary School. She was a wonderful, kind and caring teacher! I still have the books she gave me from her trip to New Zealand. My very deepest sympathies to her family. - Posted by: Stacey Woods (former student) on: Sep 02, 2021

I had Mrs. Carnie in Grade 5 at Bedson School in Winnipeg. She was one of my favourite teachers and left quite an impression. I remember she would draw these characters that I would try to emulate. Mrs. Carnie was caring and inspiring, and she fostered my love of reading for which I continue to be grateful. I often wondered where she went after Bedson. My deepest sympathies to her family. - Posted by: Glynis Corkal (Student from Bedson) on: Sep 02, 2021

Mrs. Carnie was an incredible calming caring & compassionate influence for so many students over her career! My sister became an educator herself because she experienced such a great environment in Grade 1 with Mrs. Carnie at Bedson School in Winnipeg When I lost my dad in grade 5 while in her class that year, she made all the difference in the world - she was one of the BEST & I feel very blessed to have had her as a teacher/mentor. Can't imagine the great memories you get to hold onto of your mom from living in New Zealand, up North & while in Winnipeg! Our thoughts & prayers are with you Candace, your family & friends - Posted by: Laura (Routledge) Stephansson (student) on: Aug 26, 2021
