Helen passed away peacefully on July 31, 2023 with her family by her side at Northumberland Hills Hospital. Helen was born on April 10, 1955 to the late Jim Callahan and Mary Callahan (nee Lynch). Helen was the rock to many and will be missed by her daughter, Jamie Lawson (Michael), and her son Mark Hendry (Ashley). Helen was the very best grandma to "all of her boys" Ethan Hendry, Logan Lawson, Rymer Hendry and Carter Lawson and they will miss her immensely. Helen will also be missed by her siblings Paul Callahan (Evelyn), Kathy Bleekman (Bill), Theresa Tuttle (Scott), Ed Callahan (Gerri) Doug Callahan (Kim), Marlene Brown (Ken), Margie Keeler (Brian), Bryon Callahan (Tami), as well as many nieces and nephews, and will also be missed by John Hendry. We find peace in knowing she is now at rest with her late husband Ed Burchfield. The family would like to thank the staff at Northumberland Hills Hospital. Donations in memory of Helen may be made to the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation. A private service will be held for Helen and the family.
Kathy, Theresa, Paul and extended family, so very sorry to read about the passing of Helen. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
