Helen Leta Copses

Helen Leta Copses (née Fallis) died peacefully, on January 16, 2026, at the age of 96 in Windsor, Ontario. Born on July 14, 1929, Helen, the youngest of five children born to Louis and Anthe Fallis, spent almost all her life in Toronto until moving to Windsor to be closer to family in Detroit. She was the beloved wife of Perry for 71 happy years; cherished mother of Peter (Judy) and Paul (Patricia); loving grandmother of Jennifer Karazim (John), Andrea Birger (Tennyson), John (Dianne), Henry (Felicia) and Adam; and great-grandmother of Poppy Birger. Helen was a devoted mother who prioritized family above all else. She led a full life during which she saw her two sons have successful careers, raise their own families and retire, her five grandchildren graduate from college and four of them marry. And, most recently, she became a great-grandmother. She will be missed by all who loved her, but her family is comforted by so many pleasant memories and the fact she lived a great life. In accordance with her wishes, funeral services will be private.
