Helen Margaret Sylvia Forscutt (nee MacGregor) passed peacefully in the arms of her beloved husband Ken at 3:30pm on July 14th, 2014, in Kamloops, BC.
Her Strength and Grace were noted in the way she lived and the way she let go. Her love for Ken and her two daughters Bobbie and Donna, her son-in-law Geoff, and her two adored grandsons, Christopher and Steven, was unwavering.
All that had the fortune of knowing Helen all described her as a lady. Her favourite Pal was her husband Ken, but she always had room in heart for her close friends.
Helen was born in Sidney, Manitoba, close to Portage La Prairie. Her parents, both predeceased, Jeannette Torrence MacGregor (nee Carmichael) and John Robert MacGregor, homesteaded and farmed in the MacGregor community of Manitoba where Helen was raised. Helen was predeceased by her only brother Kenneth MacGregor, and nephew Kim MacGregor. Her remaining nephew, Dwayne MacGregor, resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Helen worked for Manitoba Telephones in Brandon, and after relocating to Edson, Alberta, worked for the Ford dealership for many years.
Helen lived life fully; her loved of camping, sailing, and travelling made her life a true adventure.
Helen made a difference in everyone’s life she touched. She will be forever remembered by her devoted husband Ken and her family.
A Celebration of Helen’s Life will take place at a later day. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association.
“Think happy thoughts and fly free, sweetheart.”
