Helen Eva Kletke

Helen passed away January 21, 2017 with Glenn and Maureen by her side at the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital.

She is survived by sisters-in-law Marilyn (Jack) Warkentin, Joyce Measor, Shirley Kletke, Gail Kletke and Ruth Holmstrom and many nieces and nephews.

Helen was predeceased by her husband of 57 years Herb, in 2013, son Darrell (1977), parents Henry (1950) and Margaret (1985), sister Florence Larkin (1981), brothers Lennart (1927), Fred (1982) and Helge (2008).

Helen was born at the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital on July 26, 1933. She attended Success Business College and her first job was with Credit Protectors in Winnipeg. After the 1950 flood in Winnipeg, she was employed at Great West Life for almost 10 years in the Loans and Surrenders Dept. In 1956 she married Herb and subsequently moved to the farm in 1959. At first they had cattle, chickens and hogs but eventually expanded into cleaning seed. Helen loved working in the fields, cultivating, swathing and even operating the combine on occasion.

Helen felt fortunate that she and Herb had the opportunity to see agricultural practices in New Zealand, Australia, England, Brazil, China, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. For many years they hosted International Agricultural students and had close relationships with many of them for many years. A number of them have returned several times to visit.

We wish to thank the nurses at the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital for their care and compassion. A special thanks to Dr. Loudon and his family for the exceptional care as both a physician and friend.

The Funeral Service will be held at the Teulon-Rockwood Centennial Centre (14 Main Street) on Friday, January 27, 2017 at 11:30 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital, Teulon, Manitoba, R0C 3B0.

From the moment we phoned Ken, he treated us as we treat our most loved friends and family. Ken came to us with the utmost courtesy, quiet discretion and compassion. He looked after everyone as if they were his own family – whether they were a funeral guest or family mourner. It was a sad time and we needed the ability to say goodbye but we also wanted to make sure our guests were able to see and hear without distraction or disruption so they could say their goodbyes too. He also knew that was important and made sure he lifted a heavy burden off us at a difficult time by looking after all the little details and extras we didn’t think of.

It isn’t a business for Ken. His personal service is family to him. Because he is local and worked in the local area for 30+ years he knows it’s the many little details that make a huge difference. A hard question the funeral home always asks is to help with the planning of the service, venue and lunch afterwards. “How many people do you think will attend?” We had no idea. Ken did though. He knew the families, their families, the connections in the area and the friends. He made sure there was enough staff to help, a large enough venue and plenty of lunch by the caterer. He quietly suggested maybe the number would be larger and he was completely right. His expert caring advice was always perfect.

We have seen his professionalism and quick witted resources able to handle even the most difficult last minute situations at many different services. It is his expertise and compassion that always shines through.

What can we say about Kenny Loehmer and his service to our family and our community… Simply put, a few short words do not do justice to the important role that Kenny has played for so many Teulon families over the last several decades.

Our community is the embodiment of rural Manitoba living. We are tight-knit and enjoy the extended family environment that comes with small town life. We celebrate the good times together and we grieve our losses together; and Kenny has always been there respectively as both an active member of our community in the good times and the consummate professional who can be relied upon to help us through our most difficult times.
