Paisiblement, au Foyer Sutton, entourée de ses enfants le 7 février 2025 à l’âge de 104 ans, est décédée Helene.

Née le 6 septembre 1920 de René Heyneman et de Celina De Meyer à Waterland-Oudeman, Belgique. Elle rencontra son époux, Alfred Lengacher, un soldat Canadien quand il libérait son village pendant l’occupation. Ils se sont mariés à Gent, Belgique le 5 septembre 1945. Elle a laissé derrière elle son pays natal et tous ceux qu’elle aimait et est venue au Canada comme épouse de guerre. Elle est descendue du RMS-Aquatina à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Écosse, au Quai 21, le 4 septembre 1946. Elle a continué en train jusqu’à Foster, Québec, où elle fut accueillie par son époux et sa belle-famille. Avec son époux, elle a commencé un nouveau chapitre de sa vie à Sutton, dont ils ont eu 7 enfants. Elle a habité dans la maison que son mari Fred a construit jusqu’à ses 100 ans.

Elle était un membre actif dans sa communauté, notamment dans les écoles, à l’église et d’autres organisations fraternelles.

Prédécédée par ses parents, son frère Arsène Heyneman, sa belle-sœur Maggy Mauhin ainsi que par plusieurs autres parents et amis.

Elle laisse dans le deuil ses sept enfants, James (Jane), Christine, David (Joady), Larry (Georgette), Laura (Neil), Celina (Stanley) et Stephan (Penny), ses 22 petits-enfants, ses 34 arrière-petits-enfants et 4 arrière-arrière-petits-enfants.

Elle a définitivement laissé derrière elle son héritage lorsqu’elle a fait acte de foi et a choisi le Canada comme étant son domicile.

Nous sommes très reconnaissants pour les soins qui ont été prodigués à notre mère à la Résidence Excelsoins de Knowlton et de Cowansville, et un remerciement à la Dre. Marie-Pierre Dion pour l’excellence des soins donnés et pour sa compassion.

She met her husband, a Canadian soldier Alfred Lengacher, when he was liberating her village during occupation. They were married in Gent, Belgium on September 5, 1945. She left behind her homeland and everyone she loved and loved her and came to Canada as a war Bride. She stepped off the RMS-Aquitania in Halifax, Nova Scotia at Pier 21 on September 4, 1946, and then continued by train to Foster, Quebec where she was met by her husband and in-laws to start chapter of her life in Sutton, where together with her husband they raised 7 children. She remained in the house her husband Fred built until the age of 100.
