Helen Smith, a long time resident of Beaverlodge, Alberta passed away on Saturday, June 18, 2016 in Beaverlodge at the age of 67 years. Helen was born on February 14, 1949 in Coleman, Alberta to parents Sonny and Isobel Richards. She grew up in the Crowesnest Pass. Helen met Cameron in Blairmore in 1969 and were married in Calgary on November 14, 1970. Helen followed Cameron to various places for employment and always made friends and impressions wherever she went. Cam and Helen made Beaverlodge their home in 1991. She had a passion for helping others and had the ability to see the good in everyone and everything. Helen was a nurturer and enjoyed working in various volunteer positions. Helen had a strong passion for the IODE Willowlodge Chapter. Helen’s world was completed with the birth of her four granddaughters. We believe through her faith she is no longer in pain and has found her family. Helen was predeceased by her parents, and her sister Eleanor. Helen is survived by her husband Cam, her son Dean (Billie), and their daughters Kathryn and Megan, and her son Blair (Rhonda), and their daughters Zoe and Carly. No formal funeral service will be held, a private family gathering will take place at the request of Helen at a later date. For friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Helen to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Suite 104 12220 Stony Plain Road, Edmonton, AB T5N 3Y4, or to a charity of one's choice. Very Respectfully Beaverlodge Funeral Service
