COATSWORTH,
Helen

(GILLIES) (1907-2003)
We regret to announce the death of our mother and friend. She
died under protest on Friday, March 7, 2003, at the Sun Parlour
Home, Leamington. She stoically survived the loss of her husband,
Grover (1983), grand_son, Murray (1990), and son, Alfred (2001).
She will be sadly missed by her daughters, Bev
GILLESPIE
(John)
of Wheatley, and Ginny
ALLEN
(John) of Newmarket; her daughter-in-law,
Bonney COATSWORTH of Guelph; and fondly remembered by her grandchildren,
Jeff COATSWORTH
(Sue,)
Margot and Robert
GILLESPIE, Duncan, Graham,
and Michael
ALLEN; and great granddaughters, Elizabeth and Katherine
COATSWORTH.
Helen was predeceased by her brother, J.D.
GILLIES,
and is survived by her sisters, Katharine
McEACHERN and Janet
GOUGH.
She valued a special relationship with her many nieces
and nephews. Helen contributed to her community as a farmer,
historian, journalist, teacher and was awarded for her community
service with county, provincial, and federal awards. With the
wonderful help of her neighbours, she was able to remain on the
COATSWORTH farm for 69 years. Her spirit lives on. A memorial
service will be held at Talbot Street United Church on Saturday,
March 22, 2003, at 2: 00 pm.
