HELEN ROBERTSON-GRAYSTON OBITUARY
We are heartbroken to announce the sudden but peaceful passing of our Mom in her 95th year after a brief illness on November 28th, 2021, surrounded by her loving family.
Helen was blessed with a blended family and will be deeply missed by her children, David, Murray, the late Jayne (Peter), Gordon (Barbara), Pat, and Robert (Cindy). Helen was proud of her grandchildren, Michelle (Dave), Lynsay, Leigh, Tim (Sandra), Tammy (Mike), Jamie, Andrew, Sarah, Vanessa, Jeff and Justin. Helen also was blessed with great-grandchildren; the late David, Andrew, Myah, Ella, Jordan, Avery, Owen and Skai.
Helen was born in Hamilton to Sam and Jane Duncan, who emigrated from Scotland in the early 1920s. In her younger years, Helen worked at Mercury Mills and Parisian Laundry, often washing our Tiger-Cat uniforms! Helen then moved into the next stage of her life; marriage and raising a family.
As the years passed, Helen was happy and content, living in her own apartment and enjoying activities that included weekly bus trips to Fortinos (pre-COVID) and 50/50 draws within the community of Paramount Place where she lived for the past 30 years.
Helen looked forward to her yearly trips to Florida - visiting Disney World as well as Anna Maria Island with her travelling buddies. In the summertime, she enjoyed being up at Wasaga Beach with family and friends. In anticipation of future travel once COVID was over, she recently renewed her passport as her zest for travel never waned.
Locally, Helen enjoyed heading out weekly; whether it was weekend trips around Walmart, heading over to see her grand puppy Charlie or visits to Parkdale Fish and Chips. She was willing for an outing wherever it might take her (or where Pat would take her!) Helen loved TV, and was a lifelong fan and loyal watcher of The Young and the Restless; meeting "Victor Newman" just recently.
