June 17, 1926 - September 27, 2019
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Mary Coulter (née Richardson) on Friday, September 27, at her home in Toronto. The second of four children born to Edwin Richardson and Hilda (née Hodgson), Helen is now reunited with her parents, her brother Roy and sister Jean. She is survived by brother Ronald. Helen was born in Toronto and attended schools here and in Guelph. In her studies she excelled in art and history. She also attended Toronto Bible College in 1949. Helen was married to George Coulter for 44 years and was predeceased by him in 1993. Helen is survived by three sons, David (Jennifer), Paul (Sylvaine), and Steven (Florence). Her family brought Helen her greatest joy in life. She was immensely proud of her nine grandchildren: Mark, Bronwynn, Sam, Emily, Danielle, Lisa, Jordan, Samantha and Stephanie, and her five great-grandchildren: Gwyneth, Austin, Jace, Maia and Hayes.
She loved family gatherings, phone calls with friends, watching classic movies and writing cards and letters. She was a great pen-pal. Mom loved cats and over the years kept many of her own. Donations in Helen’s memory can be made to Toronto Cat Rescue, or the Scott Mission.
Visitation at 1pm, followed by 2pm memorial service in the chapel on Thursday, October 10, 2019 at the Kane-Jerrett North York Funeral Home, 6191 Yonge St. (South of Steeles Ave.). Interment of the urn will be held at Craighurst Presbyterian Cemetery on Wednesday, October 16, at 11am.
No longer in our lives to share
But in our hearts you are always there.
Silent thoughts of times together
Memories that will last forever.
Love You & Miss You Forever.
