August 7, 1933 – April 9, 2021

Helen Olga (Panasuk) Powell, age 87 of Berwick, Nova Scotia. It is with heavy hearts that we, the family of Helen Powell, announce the peaceful passing of our loving mother. You may not have known Helen, but she always made an impression and made your day a little brighter. Prior to her retirement you would always find her well-dressed, full makeup applied, with feet donned in sling-back heels. Post-retirement found her wearing racing car t-shirts, leggings, and disheveled hair (this required an intervention of course). Helen was born and raised in Kapuskasing, Ontario.  She married the love of her life Terry Powell in 1958 and lived for many happy years with their three children in Ontario, in the Timmins and Guelph area. The love of friendship and laughter filled her many years.  She will be remembered for her compassion, her laughter, her smile, her sarcasm, and the sincere interest she took in other people's lives. A special thank you to Dr. Judith Puetz and the numerous caregivers that helped in her final years.  The love, care, and compassion that all of you gave to our mother touched our hearts and our lives. Helen would ask that in lieu of flowers or donations, please pay it forward; bring food to your neighbour, drop some change in a donation box, spend quality time with your family, give a stranger a smile, dance like no one is watching, and do something nice for somebody else.
