HASULO, Helen (nee Leskovics) - (1940 - 2020) - It is with a broken heart that we share with you the passing of Helen Hasulo (née Leskovics), dear wife, mother and grandmother, on September 30, 2020.
Helen was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia earlier this year. She was determined to reach her 80th birthday, which we joyously celebrated with her on April 12. We take comfort in knowing we were able to honour her wishes of spending her final days with her family by her side.
She will be dearly missed by Andy, her husband of 56 years, daughter Susanne, son-in-law John Bugailiskis, and grandsons Christopher and Justin. She will also be missed by her nieces and nephews, and all her relatives and many friends here in Canada and Hungary.
Helen was predeceased by her parents and five brothers.
She was an exceptional lady – strong and passionate in her Catholic faith, a leader in her church community through the Legion of Mary, fiercely devoted to her family and a loyal friend to so very many. Helen expressed her love in many ways, but especially through her wonderful cooking, and we are sure those who knew her all have their own happy memories of enjoying one of her dishes.
Heartfelt thanks to her niece, Elizabeth Mestyan, for her love and devotion in helping with Helen’s care, all the extraordinary and compassionate nurses and doctors at the oncology and palliative care departments at Brampton Civic Hospital, and to all her family and friends who have supported us in this long journey.
Visitation is on October 5th, 6 to 9 pm at Ward Funeral Home Brampton. Mass will be on Oct 6, 10:30 am at St. Mary’s Church and will also be livestreamed on ZOOM. Please note COVID restrictions are in place. Visit https://www.wardfuneralhomes.com/brampton-chapel to RSVP if you wish to attend the visitation or the funeral mass.
We will host a celebration of Helen’s life, to take place next year, when hopefully it will be safer to come together in larger numbers.
If desired, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada at https://www.llscanada.org, the Canadian Cancer Society at www.cancer.ca, or the charity of your choice.
