Obituary of Helen Wall

In Loving Memory of Oma…

Helen Wall

November 6th, 1930 – September 22nd, 2023

Alas we can say that win was just for you… GO JAYS GO!

Our dear Oma passed peacefully in her sleep on September 22nd, 2023 with family by her side until her very last moment. On the final day of summer, just shy of her 93rd birthday she listened as her Blue Jays brought in one final win for her.

Her cheers will continue to echo in us as we will forever continue to cheer in her place.

Our dear Oma- you can rejoice in the hands of God as you are finally reunited with Opa.
