Hélène Marier

Hélène passed away peacefully on July 18, 2023. She was a feisty and vibrant woman who defied the survival odds of cancer, for which her family is grateful.

As a nurse at the Chatham hospital for many years, Hélène was truly dedicated to helping others and providing kind and compassionate care to people who needed it most. After she retired, her interest in medical and nursing issues remained front and centre. Hélène was passionate about animals, often going above and beyond to care for them, as well as tending to her beautiful garden.  Hélène also delighted in buying special treats for her grandkids to enjoy, as well as for family and other visitors.

We, Hélène’s stepchildren, are deeply appreciative of the almost 20 years she spent in our lives as the partner and second wife to our father, Clark, as well as grandma to our kids. Hélène is survived by her stepchildren Erin (Paul), Kathleen, Charlene (Aaron), Kristena (Ryan), and Thomas (Stephanie), as well as her step grandchildren, Claire, Blythe, Violet, Austin, Beau, Katie, and Tyler; sister Denyse, and brother Gilles. She is predeceased by her first husband, Denis Copeland (2001), and her second husband, Clark Mifflin (2023).

Nous t’aimons toujours Hélène! Memorial donations may be made to the Chatham-Kent hospice www.chathamkenthospice.com or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada www.heartandstroke.ca.
