on March 15, 1919 in Cooks Creek, MB to Stephan and Mary Harasymec. Her mother passed away when Helen was 8 years old and she was immediately called on to help in the care of her younger siblings. Helen and Paul were married in 1940 and they spent their subsequent years building their farm in the (Sapton) Hazelridge area, growing all types of grains and livestock, and raising their family. In 1976 they "retired" to their new home on land adjacent to their original farmstead. Here Helen and Paul enjoyed tending to their yard landscaping and fruit trees, gardening, and spending time overindulging their grandchildren. They also enjoyed travelling, including trips to Palm Springs, Florida, Hawaii, and a special trip to the Ukraine where they toured and visited relatives living "in the Old Country". Helen was a quiet, kind and gentle person. She had a special way with animals as was obvious from her tender treatment over the years of numerous cows, calves, puppies and kittens. Her adopted dog "Boomer" and her doorstep "pussies" were the latest manifestation of this tenderness. Helen was an excellent cook and meals were always special whether it was a festive occasion, Sunday dinner with family and friends or a humongous field lunch. Grandma always took time and care to make everyone's favourites. Aside from looking after her family, Helen was most happy working in her vegetable and flower gardens and showing them off to everyone who visited, often sending them home with containers of produce, strawberries, raspberries or pickles and preserves.
