| At Helen’s funeral, the eulogies were by her husband, brother and two sons. They were remarkably consistent: she was mourned for her determined personality; her high level of fitness up until her final illness; her remarkable eye-hand coordination; her fiercely competitive nature whether it be playing the board games she loved or tennis and, in later life, lawn bowls; for considering people as either completely ‘in’ or ‘out’; her thrifty nature; her dislike of junk food/drinks; her love of animals particularly her cats; and joy in cooking and handicrafts. \\ | At Helen’s funeral, the eulogies were by her husband, brother and two sons.
