I will forever hold a strong memory of Aunt Hellen. She was a regular visitor at our house, and the first person to reach out to you at a family reunion or wedding. She always wore strikingly bright shirts, had lots of stories to tell, and so true that the family pet tarantula was an added bonus! Whenever I think of what the Garneau family represented to me growing up, aunt Hellen was an integral part of it. She had grit, and I can imagine that she didn’t let anyone push her around. With her passing, as with those of her other siblings in recent years, I can see that the glue that binds this family together is coming loose: like an end of an era. Given the very interesting lives lived by the family, including their childhoods living through the Great Depression in Sandwich, I wish I could piece together all the interesting stories this family has lived through. The good and the difficult. I would love to read that book one day.

Great aunt Helen was my favourite aunt. I grew up fascinated by her pet tarantula! She was the gentlest person with the kindest smile. Aunt Helen was all about inclusion and made sure cousin Eddie and I did stuff together. I loved her story telling-the twinkle in her eye made you wonder if she was facetious or serious! I'll miss all the opportunities to bump into her at the most random times and places. Love you Aunt Helen! Kirsten van den Steene

Aunt Helen was either enjoying life, especially with babies or praying her rosary. Here she is showing Candyce the cool things you can do with black gum.. She loved being silly and babies gave her that chance.

Eddie, Darrell and Dave: Condelences to you and yours. I will always remember your mother as she welcomed me into her heart and home. Of course, she loved having a girl around... for a change. I never left her home or the phone without a new recipe or some new life hack. She was a special lady. I know your dad was waiting for her and they are looking down on us... Love, Kristine

my favourite memory with aunt helen was yugoslavia for march break. she told uncle vince she was “ going to angies for the week” in chatham. everytime uncle vince called, grandpa ( clarence) had to come up with new excuses as to why aunt helen couldnt come to the phone. “ they’re at church”, “ they’re out shopping” rest peacefully, aunt helen. you were a great woman
