GIRARDIN, Helen Girardin (nee Fisk) - Peacefully at the Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 83 years of age.
Loving wife of 48 years to Richard Girardin. Beloved stepmother of Michelle Abraham.
Cherished grandmother of Cole Abraham, Marin Hendry (Ian Finstad), Maya Hendry and great-grandmother of Ivy Finstad.
Predeceased by her sister Marjorie Dool (Donald). Dear aunt of Ken Dool (Terri), Glenn Dool (Karen), and Nancy Dool-Kontio (Tom).
Great aunt of Kacey Dool, Jesse Dool, Jordan Dool, Aaron Kontio, and Riley Kontio. Also missed by her extended family and friends.
Helen lived a big, wonderful and charmed life and loved it all. She loved her family dearly, they provided endless joy to her.
She loved her friends, many of whom were like family to her and Richard. She loved her dogs….in particular, Stately the chocolate lab.
And she loved 'her' trees in Snowball. Her infectious laughter was a hallmark and a way of life to her and she laughed hardest at her own mishaps and errors.
She was born a mentor.
She loved mentoring her husband, friends, employees and staff, her niece, nephews, stepdaughter and the grand's. She even enjoyed mentoring some who didn't want to be mentored. She loved a party, she was the life of the party, she was the party.
She leaves a legacy of love, gratitude and enduring memories. A life well lived.
Cremation with a Celebration of Life at a later date.
Those wishing may make a memorial donation to the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation.
