Helen Ramani, passed away from cancer March 23rd 2020 at home, survived by husband, Ken Moore. Born Helen Dewick in Oliver BC in 1949 and still lose to her mother's Woodworth family, she worked for the BC Buildings Corporation and later in Ottawa for EDS before coming to Sidney BC. She married Floyd Beavers and much later, Fulvio Ramani, who predeceased her. She married Ken in 2008 and they were good together to the end. Her friends number into the hundreds because she has ways been friendly, energetic and willing to help. Bowling, bridge games, hiking, biking, stitch-and-chat, Peninsula Newcomers, volunteering at the
Shoal Centre to help with computer problems, singing in a choir (Sweet Adelines group in Ottawa, Via Choralis here), playing ukulele in class and in sing-alongs, participating in her yoga group, editing and helping publish two memoirs and being busy every day as Strata Council president and part-time gardener. For all that, she was comfortable alone, reading, learning and organizing music, playing solitaire. Like a daughter, she kept an eye on her older friends, Alberta and Esme every week and very close, like a sister, to her friend Angela. Dearly loved and greatly missed. And I, her husband, am so glad I got to tell her every day how beautiful she was.
We'll have a remembrance get-together in May when the Wuhan virus is folding.
