Helen Elizabeth Watson

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Elizabeth Watson on April 4th, 2024 at the

Minnedosa Personal Care Home.

Helen was born November 11, 1929. After schooling at Roseneath and Rapid City, she was employed by

The Royal Bank of Canada at Russell and Minnedosa. On October 29th, 1955 Helen married William

Watson of Strathclair at Hunterville United Church, Minto-Odanah. They farmed south of Strathclair

where they raised their three children. Helen and Bill retired to town in 1993.

Helen was a member of the Lady Forresters where she made many of her life-long friends. She was a

great supporter of the Strathclair Community assisting at the Strathclair Review, Bend Theatre and St.

Lukes Anglican Church. She enjoyed gardening, sewing and knitting. She was an avid baker known for

her bread, buns and biscuits. There were always dainties to be shared over coffee with friends at the

Watson's house.

Helen will be forever remembered by her family: Betty Jean (Tony) DeGagne, Patti (Patrick) Menard and

Scott (Lisa) Watson.
