After surviving several plane crashes she decided to join the Royal Canadian Navy and was posted to Halifax where she met the man of her dreams! Helen continued to be an avid curler who always spoke so fondly of the many years she spent enjoying the sport, and the friends she made in the Hamilton, Dundas and Grimsby Curling Clubs. One of her fond memories was the time she spent coaching the blind curlers in Dundas. She recently found enjoyment playing shuffleboard with a wonderful senior group in Winona. She also shared a strong friendship with the parishioners of St. John’s Anglican Church who welcomed her when she moved to the area. A special thank you to the staff of Orchard Terrace and West Lincoln Memorial Hospital for their kind caring support. In lieu of flowers expression of sympathy may be sent to the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation or Hamilton Community Foundation or St. John’s Anglican Church Winona.
