Helen Winnifred Adams

Helen was born and lived all her life in the north end of the city. She was a survivor of the Halifax explosion. Helen spent her working career as a monotype operator for MacNab print in Halifax. However her most important job was taking care of her grandchildren that she started at age 66. This was the highlight of her life and she loved them so much. She was so happy, proud and fortunate to be at all the important events in their lives.

She was a lifetime member of St Margaret of Scotland Church and was a faithful parishioner all her life. She loved to play cards, especially 45’s and played with several different card groups up until the age of 91. Helen spent the last 2 years at Ivany place in Bedford where she was loved and so well cared for.

Helen was predeceased by her loving husband Bunny (Hugh) of 23 years.
