Helga Driedger
Helga Driedger (nee Neufeld), 91 years, passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 18, 2021. Loving wife of Abe for 68 years. Mom to Ruth, Joan (Todd) Phibbs, Sandra (Ed) Petryschuk and Dennis (Karen). Grandma to 10 grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren. The youngest of three sisters, Mom was predeceased by her sister Agnes Cornies on March 30, 2021 and is survived by her sister Helen Founk. Mom was a strong, hardworking and creative woman who always had a twinkle in her eye. She farmed beside Dad in their early years and in later years, right up to the present, made sure that the “men” always had some zwiebach or raisin bread for their coffee breaks. Mom had many hobbies including ceramics, making Father Christmases, knitting, making dolls and elaborate dollhouses. Mom and Dad enjoyed travelling to many places in the world, always accompanied by friends or family. Despite several bouts of cancer in the last decade, Mom came through those times and lived life to the fullest. We’ll miss you, Mom. We want to thank so many people for the care that was provided to Mom in the last three weeks of her life: the doctors and nurses at Erie Shores HealthCare, Caroline Hamm, the Home Hospice team led by Dr. Thomas Burgess, Stacy Tetzlaff and other VONs and PSWs, Home Instead, Care technicians who stayed overnight, Mariel Konrad, Charlene Epp and other LMH PSWs. We experienced such compassion and gentleness in your hands.
