Helen Matson, age 87, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2023, at the Irene Thomas Hospice.

Helen was survived by her brother Bruce (Anne); sons Thor (Tammy) and Mark (Heather); grandsons Erik, Joel and Mike; and granddaughters Devon and Hannah.

Born on October 4, 1935, in Atlin, BC, Helen spent her earliest years in Atlin prior to relocating to Vancouver. Helen had fond memories of being raised in Vancouver. She graduated from King Edward High School and, from there, went on to study education at the University of British Columbia.

Helen began her teaching career in Delta and Burnaby, eventually moving north to Atlin to teach in the town where she was born. While in Atlin, she met her husband Ted they wed in 1961, eventually settling in Tsawwassen, where they raised their two sons, Thor and Mark, while Helen taught at Cliff Drive Elementary until her retirement decades later.

Although Helen and Ted called Tsawwassen home, they remained very much a part of the community in Atlin they made the journey north by car every year to spend 6 months in their Atlin home until Ted’s passing in 2011. Although the visits were shorter, Helen continued to visit Atlin on her own for many more summers. While in Atlin, she enjoyed spending time with friends and volunteering at St. Martin’s church and thrift shop.

St. David’s Anglican Church was of great mportance to Helen. She took pride in her many ministry roles over the years, cherished the many friendships she made and thoroughly enjoyed being a parishioner.

Helen was well known for filling her home with warmth and kindness. She was often found in the kitchen baking delicious pies, cookies and her famous scones that were second to none. Helen oved to gift friends and family with fresh baked scones and homemade strawberry jam.

Helen dedicated her life to being a caring and oving daughter, sister, wife, Mom, Mother in law, Nana, friend and teacher. She will be greatly missed by the many people who were blessed to know her.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations designated to the Irene Thomas Hospice through the Delta Hospital Community Health Foundation.

Funeral service will take place at St. David’s Anglican Church, 1115 51A Street, Tsawwassen, on Friday, August 11th at 11am.
