It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Helen Jones, age 74, on February 4, 2026. Helen was the beloved wife of Dennis Jones for 53 years, and together they created a family that was the centre of her world.

Helen was born in Lethbridge and raised on a farm on the outskirts of the city. She built a life rooted in family, faith, service, and meaningful connection. She was a devoted mother to James Jones and Lisa Foster, and a deeply proud grandmother to Kelti, Ryker, Eli, and Zoe, who were truly the light of her life.

Helen worked in a variety of childcare roles, where her natural warmth, patience, and love for children were evident to all who knew her. Her faith was an important and steady presence throughout her life, offering strength and grounding her in trust and hope for her family. She enjoyed being in nature, camping, road trips, coffee dates, gardening, and plant care.

Helen was the heart of her family - the steady presence who kept people connected and ensured there was always a safe place to land. She loved fully and easily, always showing up for the people she cared for in thoughtful and meaningful ways. She valued her friendships deeply, was always happy to make new connections, and if you were in Helen’s circle, you were family.

Helen was predeceased by her parents, Jim and Eileen Watt; her sister-in-law Wendy Watt; and her nephews David Watt and Charles Watt. She is survived by her husband Dennis; her children and grandchildren; her brothers Tom Watt (Brenda) and Ron Watt; her nephews Kevin Watt and Brendan Watt; and many extended family members and dear friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined, those who wish may add an extra offering to your home church or favourite charity in her memory.
