I met Helen the first day I brought my Dad to Broadview to live. I think the first thing she asked my Dad and myself if we were married. I immediately found a connection with her as a happy, good humored person. While visiting my Dad regularly I would also stop and chat with Helen and occasionally bring her bags of her favorite chips Sour Cream and Onion. We eventually moved Dad to Lanark Lodge and Sadly only saw Helen a couple times after. RIP Helen your personality always brightened my day while visiting at Broadview.

I am truly going to miss Helen. Her kindness, sense of humour and gentle spirit always made it such a pleasure to work with her. I will miss our outings and visits. Even in the most serious of times, such as a medical procedure, Helen always found the positive and ensured others saw it too. I will miss you Helen Blue! Rest in Peace.

Helen, how quiet it is without you....affectionately known as " trouble " to many of the staff at Broadview. We would hear you coming down the hall, smile and say " here comes trouble! " Many a night you helped me in the dining room picking up dishes, and were always willing to lend a hand to staff or other residents. Such a great sense of humour, always teasing and joking. I miss you, my friend. See you later, alligator.
My condolences to Mike, Shelly & family.

I'm currently on Maternity Leave from Broadview Nursing Center but that is where I met Helen or "Trouble" as she was mostly known as. When she first arrived she would help me pick up the dining room after supper, then she would ask for a treat, mostly ice cream. She was the first one we saw in the morning, even before 6:30, usually coming down to ask for a cup of coffee. I have 2 children now and each time Helen found out I was pregnant she got really excited and asked everyday sometimes multiple times a day about the baby and told me to bring them in. Unfortunately Helen did not get to meet the newest little one. Helen was always going shopping, we would watch from the kitchen as she headed down to Target when it was open and over to M&M. We would always say what's Helen going to bring back. She was always causing "Trouble", flirting with the men, and making everyone laugh. It is going to be very quiet for me when I go back to work in March. We will miss you "Trouble" it's just not going to be the same without you.

Dear Helen..
The many years that we spent together will always remain with me. You taught me the meaning of generosity, being truly present with everyone in your life and spreading joy.
You had a huge capacity to make people feel welcome and loved...We shared so many laughs and the sad moments when they came as well. My fondest memory was seeing you off on a trip to Manitoulin Island which made you so happy!
You have left the world a better place for those who's lives you touched.
I hope Smokey and Tiger met you at the Rainbow Bridge...

Helen, you came into my life one rainy Fall morning at the back of the church at St Francis de Sales Church where you had come to kneel to pray. From that brief encounter you touched my life like no other. We went on to share years and many memories of a rare friendship. ------ our years of Friendship Group at Hanley Hall....the many birthday parties that you shared with Al..... your wagon we got ya with "Helen Blue" painted that you used to proudly collected your beer bottles....the surprise party you solely planned for my birthday..... your desire to become a Catholic, classes with RCIA and off course your blessed journey into the Catholic Church and that beautiful Easter Vigil when you became "A Catholic" I know you found a home there. and our lives would never be the same after our encounter. But you are so happy now, I just know it because even though you walked this earth, your vision was always on your heavenly home and Jesus. Never met anyone who loved Him more. Rest in peace, my friend.

Helen has been part of Smiths Falls forever it seems. I remember seeing her when I was a kid walking around town and thought how strange she was. I met here again 40 years later at Broadview Nursing home and it definitely changed my option about her. We had Helen joy us for my Mother-in-law's birthday party. She was the life of the party and every other function she attended. It would not be long talking to Helen and she would have you smiling. You never had to guess what was on her mind, because she told you straight up the good and the bad. She was always requesting my wife to find her a man, I hope she finds one now. We will be miss her sense of humor and Broadview home will not be same.

I first met Helen while visiting dad at Broadview. She walked by his room one day drinking a coffee. Helen,l called, where's my coffee? The next time in, l heard a voice behind me say "Hey, where's my coffee"? It got to be our joke of the day. In fact there were a couple of times that she disappeared and came back with a coffee for me. She would always tell dad that " Your son is a bad boy" and then laugh. I'll miss seeing Helen at our monthly church services. R.I.P, Helen.

To know Helen was to love her personality, charm, honesty, charisma, caring, impish etc. She had it all. It has been my privilege to have known her for so many years. I first met her at RRC when her and Ruthie would attempt to run away but the locals would ensure their safe return. Then she spent heartfelt endless hours with the Koziel's & Moores. She got her own apartment in the community and could have her beloved cats.
It was always enlightening when I would cross paths with Helen. Her last residence was Broadview where she would visit my office often and we would have some good laughs. RIP Annie Oakley

To Helen's dear friends and family: Helen was our neighbor for a few years when she lived on Winnifred Street. She was a great neighbor and friend. She would keep an eye on our house if we were away, and always stopped to chat when she could. We will miss her sweetness and wonderful sense of humor. God Bless her.

I was working at Broadview when Helen moved in and just left last there last March she was an amazing, kind and funny lady. She was so proud of Mike and Shelley and their families. She loved the outings and when she could loved getting outside and going across the street to shop. Helen would always be looking for a handsome guy and when she found one whether it was staff, family or a visiting entertainer she would always joke that she would tie them up and put them under her bed. What a lady always making us laugh. I have thought of her often since leaving Broadview and was very sad to hear she had passed. My condolences to everyone that she has touched in her years.
