KRAAYVANGER, Hélène Theresia Maria (née Corver) - November 29th, 1950 - September 17th, 2024
After a courageous four-year battle with cancer, on September 17, 2024, Hélène passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Health Oshawa at the age of 73. Hélène was born in Holland and immigrated to Canada in 1971. She was the beloved wife of William for 52 years; loving mother of Rudy (Kim), Monique and Steven; and proud Oma of Michael, Rachel, Chloe, Danica, Joe, Sara, Leo, Aaron and Andrew. Hélène will fondly be remembered by her many family members and friends in Holland and Canada.
She was a special aunt to Anne, Mary (Glen), John (Sharon), Bill (the late Jen) and their children. Hélène trained and worked as a nurse. After dedicating 15 years to support her family as a stay-at-home mom, Hélène jumped back into a career as a PSW, but her role did not end there. She was a consummate caregiver, always prepared to step in for anyone who needed her support. She enjoyed expressing her artistic side with handmade greeting cards, which many of her family and friends will always cherish.
