Helen Heakes

Helen Heakes passed away quietly on February 27, 2025 at the age of 102. Helen was predeceased in 1998 by her beloved husband Alfred Heakes. She is survived by her sons Ed (Judith) and Bill; by her grandchildren Chris (Samantha), Paul (Jess) and Jeff (Rosalind) and their mother Jane; by her grandchildren Jennifer and Matthew and their mother Kathy; and by her six cherished great-grandchildren Lauren, Charles, Eliza, Alfie, Max and Maisie.

Helen grew up in Weston Ontario. Helen was valedictorian of her high school class. She was the first woman to be appointed chair of the Etobicoke library board. Helen had a lengthy career, both as a paralegal and preparing tax returns for many clients, continuing well into her nineties.

Above all, Helen loved her entire family as a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, family historian and story-teller. Helen will be deeply missed by all of us.
