Obituary of Helene Marie Ryan

With great sadness the family of Helene Ryan announces her passing in Windsor, Ontario, on April 17, 2020. Helene was born on April 29, 1923, in Toronto to James and Dorothy Quarry (Harkin). She was predeceased by her husband, Frank (2002) and her siblings: Claire (Roger Trudel), Vincent, Eleanor, Margaret (Bill Silcock), Betty (Bill Cavanaugh), Greg (Barb), and Pat (Walter Speagle), and in-laws Allan and Mary Ryan. Helene was the beloved mother of Paul (Helen), Maureen (Patrick Brode), Mary-Claire (Bill Nepotiuk), Kevin (Leslie), and D'Arcy (Nada). She was the cherished Grandmother of thirteen and G.G. of three. She is also survived by sisters-inlaw, Mary Gillespie and Barb Quarry, and numerous nieces and nephews. Our mother was a gentle lady with a steadfast belief in the importance of faith and family. She lived life to the fullest, both accepting its adversities and enjoying its celebrations. We will miss you Mom, but know you are happily reunited with Dad and your family. Many thanks to the staff of Amica Riverside for their kind care. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life and Mass of Christian Burial will occur at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to SIMPLE CHOICE (Dougall) 519-254-2585.
