Helen Krause Hamm

Helen Hamm passed away peacefully in Abbotsford, BC, on December 21, 2013, just two months short of her 93rd birthday. Predeceased by her husband Henry, sister Susie and brothers Pete and John. Survived by her sister Annie and her six cherished children: Hank, Art (Cindy), Phyllis, Rick, Shirley and Rob (Jill). Also grieving are 15 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Helen Krause was born on February 27, 1921 in Novo Vitebsk, Russia. The family immigrated to Canada in 1924, settling in southern Manitoba. Helen gave her heart to the Lord at an early age. She married Henry Hamm in 1944. They lived in various locations in Manitoba before moving out west to BC, living in Aldergrove, Fort St. John, Kamloops, Nanaimo and eventually retiring in Clearbrook. Helen treasured her family, faithfully praying for them and valuing every moment spent with them. She never failed to make friends wherever she went. She was a woman of deep faith, loved Scripture and was an ardent prayer warrior. She has entered peacefully into the presence of her Lord and Saviour and is enjoying the heavenly fellowship of those who have gone before her. The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Tabor Home for their excellent and compassionate care during her final years. A memorial service will be held at Woodlawn Funeral Home on Monday, December 30 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Tabor Home Society, 31944 Sunrise Crescent, Abbotsford, BC V2T 1N5. Online condolences may be made at www.woodlawnfh-abbotsford.com
