Helga was a great listener. She was interested in others and she was a person who accepted others just as they are. She was an avid reader and she was interested in life as it evolved around her. Helga always saw the joys and blessings that she had in abundance. She had the gift of looking at what she was blessed with and setting aside things that were less than perfect. Helga loved without condition and she especially loved her helping angels.
Helga is survived by her six children. Peter (Marilyn Clark), Timothy (Judy), Elizabeth Forde (Bob), Ruth (Brian Burt), Stephen (Margaret Van Erve) and Michael (Gale) and her daughter-in-law Anne. Helga also leaves behind fourteen grandchildren and their partners and five great-grandchildren.
