BOSSÉ, Helen

May 27, 2010 75

BOSSÉ, Helen Shirley (Kaattari) - In tribute to the life of Helen, who passed away April 12th 2010 at the Southampton Care Center. She was born January 10, 1935, in Sudbury, Ontario. Helen will be missed with deep sorrow by her 2 children Brenda (Ron) St Jacques from Port Elgin, Brian (Josee) Bossé from St. Hippolyte PQ, her 5 grandsons: Ryan (Athena), Steven, Michael (Kim), Jesse, and Kyle; her great- grandchild Ronin; her sister Betty Ann (Mike) Gravelle, her brothers Ray (Grace), and Ron; her sisters-in-law Irma Kaattari, Cécile Bossé and Isabel Bossé, Yvette (Gérard) Arsenault, and many nieces & nephews. Helen was predeceased by her loving husband Alex Bossé (from Edmundston, NB), who passed away 40 days before. Helen loved life, but even though she had endured more than her share of life threatening events (including a life altering car accident), the passing of her husband was more than she could bear. She was predeceased by her parents Oiva and Vieno (Bontinen) Kaattari and one brother Len. Helen & Alex were proud owners and proprietors of Alconsen Fly-in Fishing Outpost in Elliot Lake until they had to let it go due to health reasons. They moved to Port Elgin in 2005 to be closer to her daughter & grandchildren. Her life was happiest when she was with her family & friends. We celebrated her life at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Port Elgin on May 1, 2010. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Southampton Care Centre Resident Council Fund, Heart & Stroke, or the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce. Arrangements entrusted to GREY BRUCE CREMATION AND BURIAL SERVICES (1-877-991-9995).
