January 23, 1936 - May 12, 2021
Our precious mother, Helen Rose Hetman, left this world on May 12, 2021 after a brief illness. Her daughters were at her side as she made her journey to be with Jesus.
Mom was born January 23, 1936 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Mike and Sophie Hetman. She will live on forever in the hearts of her children Roberta (Sergio) Pasquali, Susan (Richard) Oatway, Philip (Maria) Kulbaba, Patrick Kulbaba and Vicki (Richard) Miller. She was predeceased by her son Mitchell Kulbaba and daughter-in-law Maria Kulbaba.
Grandma, lovingly known as "granny" cherished time with her children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We have all benefited from her advice, patience, grace and fortitude. As the matriarch of our family, she was everyone's best friend and confidant, and we know she will continue to watch over us all from heaven.
The family will be having a private celebration of life following cremation.
We are forever grateful to the ICU doctors, nurses and staff at KBRH Trail who gave their very best care. Thank you Marlise for your prayers, compassion and hymn.
A donation in Helen's memory can be made to the KBRH ICU/Hart Project, or a charity of your choice.
