It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of our beloved Mother, Baba, Sister and Aunt on September 24th, 2022 at the age of 79. Predeceased by her husband Louie, dearest Mother to Terry, and Mary (Chris), loving Baba to Roman (Kira), and Anthony, beloved Sister to Bill (Joan) and Ann, cherished Teta to Garry, Bill, Mike (Thelma), Christine and Jonathan.
Born in Xino Nero, Florina, Greece she married Louie in 1960 and came to Canada where they started a family and ran a business, the Patrician Grill. A hardworking woman who embraced and succeeded in overcoming the struggles of a new language and culture.
While raising her family and working long hours, she developed many talents. From sewing dresses to carpentry to plumbing, she was the first to pick up a hammer. She had many loves in her life, her family, friends, flowers and garden. Helen had unstoppable strength and drive, no task was too big for her to tackle.
One of her greatest joys in her life was raising and spending time with her grandchildren, Roman and Anthony.
The family wishes to thank her many relatives, friends and neighbours for their help and support over the years.
To our beautiful mother and baba, you will be deeply missed and will forever be in our hearts. We love you and thank you.
