Helen (Fedorvich) Jenkins

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 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 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.
