CORKILL, Helen (nee OWEN) - On January 21, 2023, Helen Corkill (née Owen) died peacefully, at Humber River Hospital at the age of 87.
Beloved mum of five children, Stephen, Janet (Clive), Jonathan, Sue (Stefanie) and Timothy (Megan); as well as proud grandmother to Luke; and great-grandmother to Lucy and Sadie.
Originally from the U.K. and born in Prestwich, Helen spent the last forty years as a resident of Etobicoke.
She was a member of the Etobicoke Lawn Bowling Club where she was an avid bowler for many years, and fondly remembered her time serving as Vice President and President.
Helen loved travel, visiting Disney World countless times with various family members in tow.
A friend to all animals who adored her back in equal measure, she also enjoyed classic movies, British TV and trips to the casino.
Helen was vibrant, kind, loving and fiercely independent. She is already greatly missed.
A private service and interment will be held for family this summer in the U.K.
Memorial donations may be made to Covenant House Toronto (CovenantHouse.ca), a charity that was close to Helen's heart.
