Helen loved her Montreal Canadians and always started her day off with a tea and cigarette. She was a beloved animal lover, and Misty was her ultimate fur baby. She was Helen’s life saver and got her though her toughest days. Helen was a member of AA in Port Hawkesbury. She enjoyed her sobriety of 30 years. Although she had trying times, she persevered and got through all her hard days.
