Helen Owen
Owen, Kathleen Helen Margaret - age 65, of New Glasgow, passed away peacefully at home in Halifax July 11th, 2015.
Following her diagnosis of lung cancer late in 2012, she was able to share three more years with her children and grandchildren, providing them love and memories in equal measures.
She is deeply missed by her sisters Mary Hughes (Johnson), England, and Alison Abbott (Johnson), Germany, and her children, Nicola, New Zealand, Richard, British Columbia, Sarah, Halifax, Christopher, Halifax, and their families, and all of those whose lives she touched. Helen had a compassionate spirit and unassuming nature. Ever welcoming, she loved nothing more than a full house and a crowded table.
As Helen had requested that there be no formal service, the family asks that you honour her memory with an act of kindness, a shared meal, or a donation to a charity of your choice.  
Condolences, words of comfort, and memories of Helen may be shared with the family at thoughtsofhelen@gmail.com.
