Our family wishes to announce the passing of our dear mother
Helen Jenkins on the morning of March 12, 2024, at the age of 74
at the Westlock Healthcare Center.
Helen was born in Edmonton on Jan 26, 1950, to Jenny and Walter
Fedorvich. Helen grew up on the family farm in the community of
Busby. Helen was predeceased by her loving husband Lester
of 29 years of marriage at the time of his passing, her parents
Jenny and Walter and her brother Dan.
She leaves behind her children Tracey (George), Barry (Angie)
and Tanya, grandchildren Rory, Lucas, Abagail, Landyn,
Austin and great grandchildren Brooklynn, Harlem, Dallas and
Alexander. Brothers Wally, Joe (Linda), Lawrence (Tracey), and
Ron plus numerous nieces and nephews.
Helen started her career as a hairdresser at the age of 16
and met the love of her life in Athabasca in 1972 with a
short courtship of 6 weeks. Helen and her husband moved
to Ardmore and raised all 3 kids near Lesters’ parents and
moved to Westlock in 1989 and out to the farm in 1992 to
be closer to her brothers and parents where she currently
resided until her passing.
She loved the outdoors with the family going ice fishing,
hunting, and camping. She would stay up all night with a
roaring campfire, nothing she loved more than sitting around
the campfire until morning watching the sun rise. She had a
love for cooking, and she will always be remembered for her
salad dressing, potato salad and cheap haircuts.
She will be sorely missed by family and numerous lifelong
friends and neighbours. Celebration of Life for Helen will
be held at later date. Please no donations or flowers just
remember all the great times with Helen.
