With great sadness we announce the passing of our mother HELEN MARGARET DICKSON (nee Toohey) on Friday, November 11, 2011 at the Chinook Regional Hospital at the age of 82 years. She is the loving mother of Catherine Purcell, of Edmonton, and Louise Dickson, of Lethbridge. She is also survived by two grandchildren Alexandra Purcell and Rebecca Purcell; one sister-in-law Eileen; nieces & nephews. Helen was predeceased by her husband George Dickson, her father Thomas Edward, mother Lena Toohey, brothers Edward (Irene) and John Toohey and one sister Catherine Offringa. Helen was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, the youngest of four children. She loved to travel and was an avid skier. It was skiing that brought her together with her husband of 26 years, George Dickson. They resided in Canmore, Alberta where they raised two daughters Catherine and Louise. In 1989 her husband George passed away and she later moved back to Edmonton where she spent her time travelling and golfing. However her greatest joy was spending her time with her two grandchildren. She stayed in Edmonton until 2000 when she decided to move down to Lethbridge. She will be sadly missed by all. A special thank you to the staff at Good Samaritan’s for their love, care and compassion while taking care of our mom.
