PREST, B. Harlynn 'Susan' (Helmer)

On June 22, 2015, Harlynn ""Susan"" Barbara Prest (nee Helmer) passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her devoted husband William (Bill) Prest was with her as she went to be with her beloved Saviour and precious baby boy Matthew. Sue deeply loved and will be sorely missed by her children, Taylor Prest (Michelle) and Erin MacKinnon (Jason) and her beloved grandchildren Duncan and Harlynn MacKinnon and Isabelle Prest, Sean and Tyler O'Connell. Susan was the beloved daughter of Harold and Melba (Shea) Helmer (both deceased) of South porcupine and the sister of Wesley and Larry (both predeceased), Caroll Ann Girard (Don deceased), Janet Johnstone (Bill) and Debbie Brouse (Jerry). She loved her mother-in-law Patricia Prest (Gabriel deceased), her sister-in-laws Juliette Helmer and Marnie Mascioli (Greg), brother-in-laws Paul and Ted Prest and all her many nieces and nephews. Sue was a devoted registered nurse for 40 years and loved caring for people. She was well respected by her peers and died on the same floor she retired from with some of her beloved colleagues present. She will be missed by all but her warmth and light will shine in our hearts and from above always. There will be a celebration of Sue's life on Saturday July 4, 2015 at First Baptist Church of Sudbury in Garson from 1:00 to 5:00 pm with words of remembrance and music at 1:30pm. Sue loved to be among her family and friends and all are invited to be with her again one last time. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Maison Vale Hospice or First Baptist Church Memorial fund. Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home.
