HELEN
LANDELS McKAY
April
6, 1929 – February 1, 2014
Peacefully, at
the age of 84 years with her family by her side, Mom departed from our lives.
Her spirit, however, will live on with us all forever.
A loving wife, mother and grandmother, Helen
has left to mourn her loving husband Bud; daughter Sharon (Ken); grandson
Matthew (Marcy); and her grandchildren Katie and Wes McKay. She was predeceased
by her son Kerry and her sister Marion.
Mom was a
wonderful woman who cherished her family and friends more than anything. She
especially loved time spent with family and friends at our cottage on Dogtooth
Lake. She always made sure her flowers were well taken care of and that the
hummingbird feeder was full. Mom and Dad
spent many winters as “Snowbirds” in Lakeland Florida where they met a
wonderful group of both Canadian and Americans whose friendships Mom cherished.
Mom also enjoyed the time she spent with the “Bridge” Ladies and also the many
walks with friends in Assiniboine Park. Mom retired from the Bank of Montreal
after many years of dedicated service and where she made lifelong friendships.
After retiring Mom volunteered her time at the Nearly New Shop whose proceeds
went to the Children’s Hospital.
In accordance
with family wishes no service is being considered at this time.
We would like
to thank the wonderful people at West Park Manor Personal Care Home for their
care and compassion with Mom during her stay with them.
In lieu of
flowers, donations to either the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation or the
Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba would be sincerely appreciated.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium,
2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements.
