Helen Sinclair Williams (née Milnes) Died peacefully on Monday, January 10, 2011 at Meighen Manor in her 95th year. Predeceased by her devoted husband of 51 years, Richard. Loving mother of Robert (Linda Hutjens) of Toronto and Ann Harrington (Robert) of Bradford. She will be missed by her granddaughters, Valerie and Kristen Aguanno. Helen was always proud of being a graduate of Havergal College in 1933 and was a life-long supporter of the school. She married Richard in 1939 and they soon travelled to Halifax where Richard commanded ships escorting the North Atlantic convoys during the war. While in Halifax, Helen joined the Canadian Red Cross to support the war effort. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude to the staff at Meighen Manor and especially to her devoted caregivers, Leticia Pua and Filma Mocanu, who made her last years so pleasant.
