Hélène GANTCHEFF Obituary
GANTCHEFF, Hélène (Kostadinova)
1926 - 2014
A great lady peacefully passed away last August 30, 2014 surrounded by her children. An admirable mother, she leaves behind in mourning her three children: Natalie (Peter), Éléna (Normand) and her son George (Dominique), six grandchildren: Laetetia, Alexandre, Sinyan, Anmyn, Vinh and Shan Luu, two great-grandchildren: Tristan and Alexei, along with many dear friends. She built a brilliant career as a psychologist at the Ste-Justine Hospital. She distinguished herself as an expert witness in child custody cases and was also an inspirational teacher at the University of Montreal. A remarkable business woman, she laid the foundation, alongside her son, for an illustrious career in real estate. Madame Gantcheff was an extraordinary woman whose strength and determination shall be remembered by all those who crossed her path. As per her wishes, a very intimate Funeral Service will be held in the presence of only her family and a few close friends. Your condolences can be forwarded at the following address: www.dignitequebec.com. Those who so desire may make memorial donations in her memory to La Fondation du CHUM, 500 Place D'Armes, Bureau 1405, Mtl, QC H2Y 2W2, in appreciation for the excellent care she received at Hôpital St-Luc.

As a former doorman at the St. Georges building from 2009 to 2014, I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Mme. Gantcheff quite often. She was always very kind, and always had nice things to say. When I would ask her how she was, she would always respond "GREAT!" with enthusiasm. It was a pleasure knowing her, and I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the Gantcheff family at this time.
