(Friesen)
September 7, 1936 – October 2, 2014
Helen passed away peacefully after a long struggle with her health. Helen is survived by her loving husband Raymond Cyril Ingham. She passed away only 10 days before their 57th wedding anniversary. Also missing Mom are her daughter Cindy (John), two sons Brad (Fiona) and Todd (Tanya) and more than a dozen grandchildren.
Best known for her role as the Mail Lady, Mom delivered the V0N 3A0 rural mail from Wilson Creek to West Sechelt and out to Tillicum Bay for 12 years and three years thereafter working inside the post office.
The family is truly grateful to her closest friends for their extraordinary kindness, care and compassion in recent years; especially Dorothy and Nick VanVelzen, Laurie Lesko, Pat Nestman and Nick Tattersall. Special thanks to Mom’s neighbors Betty Jeffries and Maurice Abar. As well, our sincere appreciation goes to the nurses and staff at St. Mary’s Hospital, the good folks who cared for mom in her home and Dr. Jack Bryson who cared for Mom over the years.
A memorial service will be held at Calvary Chapel (4943 Geer Road, Davis Bay) on Friday, October 10 at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the St. Mary’s Auxiliary.
