August 22, 1937 – June 29, 2021

Helen passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home in Chase, British Columbia at age 83. She was a wonderful, kind and positive person and is deeply missed. She is lovingly remembered by daughter Wendy, son Jeff and 3 nieces and their families. She was predeceased by first and second husbands Dan Pomeransky and Ted Beauchamp and sister Joy Hemmings.

Helen was born and raised in Calgary and spent many summer days with her family in the Rocky Mountains. She obtained a Chemistry Lab Technology diploma from SAIT in Calgary and later worked in a food safety lab in Lethbridge, AB. She met her first husband Dan while working for the summer at Chateau Lake Louise. They both loved being outdoors but sadly, their time together was short. Helen later lived in Lake Louise with husband Ted and their family.

In 1977 the family moved to Chase and Helen enjoyed the milder climate and living by a lake that was warm enough for swimming. She became an avid gardener and loved fresh fruits and vegetables and tending to her flowers. She filled the pantry with preserved fruit, jam, pickles and home-pressed grape juice. Over the years she had much fun with the “Stitch Group” and besides crocheting, she enjoyed all the social activities and birthday celebrations. Helen also liked bowling, golf, curling and playing cards and board games with friends and family. Helen especially enjoyed outdoor activities like walking, hiking, picnics, bicycling and cross-country skiing. After Ted retired, he and Helen went on many bus tours in Canada and the US and made long-lasting friendships. Helen also went on many sightseeing car trips with Ted and on car-camping and hiking adventures with Wendy. Helen remained vibrant and active her whole life and she always cherished visits with her family. There will be no formal service.
