At the age of 95 years, Helen Dmytriw peacefully passed at the Orchard Haven Care Home in Keremeos, BC. She enjoyed her final years amongst caring staff and visiting family and friends.  

Mom began her life as a Saskatchewan farm girl near Preeceville, in a family of 15 children, learning the values of hard work, cooperation, and generosity. Being from a large, close-knit family and having many friends, she enjoyed numerous celebrations and wonderful times.

Her love of life and people touched all who knew her.

We miss her dearly.
