Helen Cripps, age 84, a loving and caring mother, passed away on June 23 at her home, in Brooklin Ontario, surrounded by her family. Helen was born in Ireland on February 6, 1937 to Winnie and Shamus. She came to Canada, after deciding there was one too many Casey's still in Ireland, to settle down to start a loving family. Mystery novels, sherry, furry little animals, and yellow flowers were some things that she enjoyed, sometimes separately and sometimes together. She will be fondly missed by her two sons and her brothers, sisters and all her nieces and nephews in Ireland. She accepted her fate with dignity, grace, and a sense of humor. Helen maintained her fierce independence until the final moments.
