MERIFIELD,
Helen
Margaret (née
KYDD) (1917-2008)

on February 11th. Beloved wife of 61 years to the late Russell
Roy MERIFIELD. Cherished mother of Russell, Elizabeth (Dario
GALINDO) and Thomas (Linda.) Proud grandmother of Marion and
step-grand_son, Simon. Loving sister of Elizabeth
SHARPE and the
late Sam KYDD, and sister-in-law to Doctor Jeanne

Helen was
born on July 26, 1917 in Campbellford, Ontario and attended schools
in Orillia, Port Colborne and Ottawa before entering McGill University,
where she graduated with a B.A. and High School Teaching Diploma
in 1939. At McGill, she was President of her sorority, Kappa
Alpha Theta, and was President of the McGill Glee Club. She taught
at Montreal West High School during World War 2, before retiring
to become a mother and full time homemaker. In Montreal, her
altruistic activities included Town of Mount Royal Presbyterian
Church, University Settlement, Montreal Rehabilitation Institute
and Royal Victoria Hospital. Moving with her husband to Toronto
in 1967, she became an active member of Glenview Presbyterian
Church, Goodwill Industries and the North York University Women's

her, and she fitted easily into associations with persons in
all walks of life. An eternal optimist, she saw the best in every
situation and was seldom disappointed. Friends may call at the
