Helen passed away peacefully on January 4, 2026, just before her 97th birthday. Born in Toronto, she was the only child of Helen (née Tassie) and Innes Grant Sinclair. A graduate of the University of Toronto, Helen devoted her life to helping others throughout her career at the Children's Aid Society and through many years of service to St. Thomas' Church in St. Catharines and Christ Church Anglican in Windermere. A lifelong volunteer, she gave of her time and cared generously without seeking recognition. She supported many community and charitable causes and always sought to make the world around her a little better. Although she had no children of her own, she shared motherly care and kindness as a godmother to many, all of whom were dearly loved. A celebration of life will be held this summer in Muskoka.
