It is with tremendous sadness we say goodbye to an extraordinary wife, mother, grandmother and sister.

In December of 1940 she wed Basil Leismeister in Richmond, Saskatchewan. Helen and Basil were one another’s lifelong companions, and they were blessed with two children, Alvina and Brent.  In her earlier years, Helen enjoyed spending her spare time bowling, baking for her family, and dancing.  As she got older her passion for the Toronto Blue Jays grew stronger.  Helen is predeceased by her beloved husband of 66 years; son, Brent; and her son-in-law, Albert Dietz. She leaves to cherish her memory her sisters, Frances DeBoer and Irene Hoffner; daughter, Alvina Dietz; grandchildren, Wendy Dietz and Darrell (Shanin) Dietz; and great-grandchildren, Darren (Inkara) Dietz and Kennedy Dietz.
