Obituary

West, Helen Kathleen….

Helen Kathleen West (nee Lockridge) passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2015. Her intellect, common sense, sense of humour and abundance of loving stayed with her throughout a very difficult and lengthy period of ill health. Relatives and friends were a great help in maintaining her disposition in spite of what she was enduring. Helen was very accomplished in many areas: notably motherhood, witness sons Mike and Paul; community involvement for which shewas named to the Wingham Sport Wall of Fame for her efforts in getting the first swimming pool; and establishing and supervising the Lockridge Midget Hockey Tournament in honour of her father, Walter. Her employment record included CKNX Wingham where she and husband Roger met. Their love of travel started with the 1972 Hockey series in Moscow and saw family visits in Europe and throughout North America. Her kind heart and warmest smile will always be missed. A very proud Grandmother, Helen is survived by her husband Roger West, her sons Michael and Donna Fleury (Kamloops) and Paul and Susan Fleury (London); a number of cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren and many supportive relatives. Cremation has taken place. Helen’s Life will be celebrated on Saturday, March 14th from 2-5pm in the Reception Centre at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London on the southeast side of the parking lot. Those wishing to make a donation in honour of Helen can do so to the Boys and Girls Club of London, 184 Horton Street, London ON N6K 1K8 or other charity for youth. A.
