We are saddened to announce the passing of our mother Helen Rowett, in her 93rd year, at Mississauga on May 13, 2023.

She is survived by her devoted husband and soul mate of 68 remarkable years, and caregiver to the end, Glenn and cherished children Mark (Deborah) and Jill (Ken).

Loving and devoted Nana to Ryan (Sarah), Shannon (Warren), Rebecca (Justin), Ness, Tamara (Ashu), Megan (Craig) and Darcy. Helen will be remembered by her great-grandchildren Wyatt, Zoe, Elsie and Maxwell. She was predeceased by her parents Frank and Mary Panes, and was the last surviving member of her siblings, Bob, Bill and Jim.

Mom made lifelong friends with the Frieds, Voights and Rabjohns while attending the youth group of St Elizabeth’s Church in her teenage years. She was involved in leading Girl Guides and Brownies. She enjoyed various arts and crafts. Her apple pies were the best, made with homegrown fruit, and her cheesy potatoes at family gatherings were a must have item. She initiated her family’s love of curling and made many friends at the Dixie Curling Club.

She worked as an administrative assistant for Humber College until retirement, after being a stay at home mother until her children were in high school. Early in retirement, she travelled around the world with Glenn, making many friends while visiting Costa Rica, China, Australia, Alaska and Europe. Above all, Helen found the most joy in her life with Glenn and her family.

We would like to thank Dr. Zheng and the nurses and PSW’s who provided excellent home care in her last days.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter "Peel" Chapel, 2180 Hurontario St., (Hwy. 10, N. of QEW) on Thursday from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Friday, May 19, 2023 at 11 a.m.

Interment Glen Oaks Cemetery.
