HELEN JOSEPHINE RUTHERFORD

December 19, 1935 – May 13, 2025

After a brief illness we are saddened to announce that Helen Josephine Rutherford passed away on Tuesday May 13th 2025 at the age of 89. Helen was predeceased by her parents Harold and Eva Wohlberg, her husband Thomas Rutherford and her stepsons Bill and Bruce. She is survived and forever loved and remembered by her siblings Jean Pelletier (Roland), Peggy Wolberg (Jack) and Neville Wohlberg (Joan) along with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is also remembered, loved and missed by Tom’s grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and her adopted family Karen Dodd (Stephanie and Mark) and Gary Howk (Susan). Also forever remembered by her many life long friends and neighbors.

Helen was born on the Wohlberg farm in Speers, Saskatchewan. After her graduation, Helen chose a career as an air line stewardess and later worked as a travel consultant. Helen remained in the travel industry until her retirement.

Her life was filled with hard work, love of nature, reading and gardening; along with her independence and unfailing generosity to those she loved. We will miss her contagious smile and laughter; and her welcoming arms to greet those whom ever she met.

She will be missed but never forgotten.

Those we love don’t go away

They walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard,

Still loved, still missed.
