Helene was born in 1903. [1] Her family lived in Belleville, NS at what is now 522 Belleville Rd.
She married Louis in 1920 in Wakefield, MA, and lived there until about 1931. Louis was from Quinan, NS. She return to NS for the birth of her first child, Bernard. The middle five of seven children were born in the United States, while the baby, Martin was born in NS after moving to Sainte Anne du Ruisseau.
Helene died in 1939 at home after a failed pregnancy and due to heart issues. Her son, Larry, recalls he was playing in the woods with a neighbour when his brother Edward came to find him with the news. Edward was on his way to find the two oldest boys, Jim and Bernard, working in Belleville. Larry returned home and his father sent him to ring the Church bell. Her funeral was the first in Sainte Anne du Ruisseau to use a pick up truck instead of a horse drawn hearse. The truck belonged to someone named Wilfred.
Helene is buried in the older part of the parish cemetery, not far from her father who died less than three years earlier.
She wore dark glasses and had blue one when she died.[2][3]
