Remembering Helen
With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Helen Marie Lambert (nee Greftegreff), of Edmonton, Alberta. Helen passed away on June 17, 2024, at the age of 75, leaving behind a legacy of love, friendship, and wonderful memories. Helen was born on January 14, 1949, in High River, Alberta, grew up on a farm near Cayley, Alberta, and earned a Bachelor of Education at U of C. She was the youngest of three children. Helen is predeceased by her parents, her sister Marilyn Greftegreff, and her brother-in-law Jack Murdoch.
Helen worked hard all her life. Her warm smile and kindness made her a cherished friend to many. She was not only a kind and compassionate caregiver to her family, but also to the residents she assisted at Winnifred Stewart Association, and had a way of making everyone feel welcome and loved. She cherished the lasting friendships she made there during her tenure. She had a heart full of compassion and a selfless nature.
When you think of Helen from time to time, remember her love of nature and gardening, her love of pets and animals, and her love of music and love of singing – especially musicals.
A celebration of Life will be held in Edmonton August 24, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rundle Park, Site #3.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Helen can be made to Winnifred Stewart Association – https://www.winnifredstewart.com/donations
She will be greatly missed.
I extend my sympathy to the family and close friends of Helen. I had the pleasure of meeting with her only a few times in Edmonton after growing up in Cayley. Her positive approach to life and her wonderful laugh leave a lasting memory.
