Mrs. Helen Joyce Stewart

March 9, 1944 - January 7, 2020

On January 7, we unexpectedly lost a truly wonderful person. Helen Joyce Stewart was a kind and gentle soul who will be greatly missed. She is mourned by her Daughter Leslie, her son Morgan, and her granddaughter Janet and husband Travis. She will also be greatly missed by her partner, Eric Dohaniuk and his children; Kelly, Christie, Lori and Ryan. Eric and Helen reconnected late in life, as they grew up together in Lac La Hache, BC where Eric was best friends with her late brother, Bernard. They were very much in love and living happily together in High River, Alberta. They were great companions who were always holding hands, having great conversations and taking good care of each other. They had plans to get married this coming summer and do some travelling together. Eric will truly be lost without her. He only regrets that he did not have more time with her, but knows they will be together again someday in Heaven. Helen loved her family. She and her daughter Leslie were best friends who spoke and saw each other almost every day. Words can’t express how big of a hole her passing has left in Leslie’s heart. She also could not get enough of talking about her granddaughter Janet and her husband Travis, both of whom she was so proud of - no matter how big or small their accomplishments were. She and Eric had just spent a nice Christmas with the extended family that she had found with his children and grandchildren, who she also was very proud of. One of her best qualities was her sense of humour. She shared this, along with her strength and artistic talent, with her children. Helen often hand drew cards for her kids and grandkids for birthdays, anniversaries and just because. Her daughter and granddaughter are determined to carry on her passion and talent for painting. Helen, we all loved you so much for the person that you were. You didn’t ask for much and were always grateful for the little things in life. You left an imprint on the hearts on the people in your life - far more than you know - and will be missed more than you could ever imagine. At this time, no memorial service will be held. Caring for the family is Lyle Reeves Funerals of High River (Craig Snodgrass) 403.652.4242.
