Helga Driedger (nee Neufeld)
91 years, passed away peacefully at home in the early
morning hours of July 18, 2021. Loving wife of Abe for 68 years. Mom to
Ruth, Joan (Todd) Phibbs, Sandra (Ed) Petryschuk and Dennis (Karen). Grandma
to 10 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. The youngest of three
sisters, Mom was predeceased by her sister Agnes Cornies on March 30, 2021
and is survived by her sister, Helen Founk. Mom was a strong, hardworking
and creative woman who always had a twinkle in her eye. She farmed beside
Dad in their early years and in later years, right up to the present, made
sure that the ‶men″ always had some zwiebach or raisin bread for their
coffee breaks. Mom had many hobbies including ceramics, making Father
Christmases, knitting, making dolls and elaborate doll houses. Mom and Dad
enjoyed travelling to many places in the world, always accompanied by
friends or family. Despite several bouts of cancer in the last decade, Mom
came through those times and lived life to the fullest. We’ll miss you, Mom.
We want to thank so many people for the care that was provided to Mom in the
last 3 weeks of her life: the doctors and nurses at Erie Shores Health Care,
Caroline Hamm, the Home Hospice team led by Dr. Thomas Burgess, Stacy
Tetzlaff and other VONs and PSWs, Home Instead, Care technicians who stayed
overnight, Mariel Konrad, Charlene Epp and other LMH PSWs. We experienced
such compassion and gentleness in your hands. Visiting at the Reid Funeral
