STONE, Helen Rita "Wendy"— 73, of Halifax, passed away June 2, 2010, in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII. She was a daughter of the late John and Jessie (Slaunwhite) Stone. Helen spent most of her working career as a civil servant with the Province of Nova Scotia retiring from the Department of Education - Research Division.

She will be sadly missed by her family, friends and all that knew her.
