Mrs. Helen Gladys Madigan

On Oct 20, 2020 Helen blew us a kiss & gave one last wave goodbye, before passing safely to the other side & into the waiting arms of her darling Bill. They were last seen driving off into the sunset together, heading toward the Casino. Born 5th of six children to Lewis & Gladys Hutchinson on April 19, 1935. Helen was half grit all class. When life threw curve balls, she stood up to the plate. At age 15, she worked as a theatre usherette then later started with B.C. Hydro eventually retiring from BC Motor Carriers at the age of 62. Helen always looked good & could carry on a conversation with anyone. The life of the party, a devout Elvis fan Helen valued fun & she loved to dance. In 2001 Helen met her soulmate Bill Pierce. They enjoyed an incredible 12 years full of travel, golf, cards & casinos. Helen loved her children & grandchildren with all her heart. As proud as she may have been, if something didn't quite meet her approval they would be sure to hear about it! Helen forged many friendships throughout her life; Connie, Lil, Barb, Donna, Audrey & Ken, Irma & Merle, Dolores & Raymond just to name a few. You all stood the test of time while making a lifetime of memories. Helen will be forever missed by her loving family: Sherry Chapple (David), Dan Madigan (Teri), Lea Madigan (Johnny); grandchildren: Candice Chapple, Kyle Chapple (Amanda), Justin Stuart, Jerad Stuart, Jesse Stuart, McKenna Madigan; sister-in-law: Alma Hutchinson; many cousins, nieces & nephews (Hutchinson & Madigan) she adored so much. Donations in Helen's memory can be made to Variety Children's Charity.
