In Loving Memory of Helen Lindsay Young. Helen passed away peacefully in her sleep early Christmas morning, 2014 after a short illness. She left this earth to join her husband, Athol, daughter Gloria, parents Isabel & Bernard along with multiple friends and relatives who have predeceased her. She will be remembered fondly by her grandson Russell Adams, great granddaughter Juliette, sister Bernice Young, brother-in-law George, multiple nieces, nephews, great nieces & nephews. Lindsay lived a full life in her 100 years, witnessing many changes. She was a gifted person with her hands and many of her friends and family were recipients of her beautiful needlework, knitted & crocheted items, quilts, jams, jellies & baked goods. She had a fabulous sense of humour, along with an extensive, unique vocabulary. She loved to share time with friends & family, always the most gracious hostess. She was proud of her prairie farming roots all her life and loved touring through Western Canada. She had an incredible memory for routes and highway numbers across this area. Lindsay lived a very independent life, mowing her lawn and driving her car until a few years before her death. Although Lindsay had more than her fair share of heartache through her life, her strong faith in God and her love of family & friends kept her buoyant. She was a gem to all who knew & loved her.
