Helen was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and a member of Highfield Baptist Church. Before her marriage, she was employed with The T. Eaton Co. Ltd. Helen was a fantastic cook and enjoyed going to the shore and on Sunday drives with her late husband, Sterling.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Sterling Matchett (2018).

Special thanks to Spencer Nursing Home for their care and kindness over the past few years, and to The Moncton Hospital staff for their support while she was a patient. Also, to Pastor Gary Barr and Rev. Rob Salloum for their many visits and support.

Resting at Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995) on Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
