HELEN
ANDERSON (nee: McIntyre) born August 15, 1916, passed away peacefully in Moose Jaw
Union Hospital on August 12, 2007.
Predeceased by her husband, Albert (Bert) Anderson, her
brother, Horace (Mac) McIntyre; sisters: Arlene (Lawrence) Henderson and Jean (Bob) Anderson. Helen is survived by her
children: Lynn (Ted) Jest of Vancouver, BC, Mac (Lori) Anderson of
Moose Jaw and her two granddaughters: Christa (Aaron) Vassie of Okotoks, AB, and Sarah Anderson of Moose Jaw.
Upon graduation from Central Collegiate, Helen continued
her studies at the Normal School (now SIAST) where she was also
employed for many years.
Helen and Bert were married in 1942; Helen always spoke
fondly of their time together in the Queen Charlotte Islands
before Bert returned overseas as a Canloan Officer. She held dear to her heart her childhood friends whom she
remained in contact with throughout her 90 years.
Having lived on 7th Avenue N.W. for 58 years, she touched the lives of many neighbours and carried
on that neighbourly tradition with constant visits from her
grandchildren and their friends. Helen was a member of the Moose Jaw Public Library since
1929 and read thousands of books. Her brilliant mind and wisdom
remained with her right up to the time of her passing.
