Helen J. Canter
Helen J. Canter, of Auburn Washington, born in Pasco, Washington on April 18, 1934, passed away and went to be with the Lord on June 11, 2014, at the age of 80. She was predeceased by her husband of 45 years, Ron Canter.
Helen retired from Highline Community Hospital in 1999 where she worked as an aide in the nursery and later as a central supply technician. Her hobbies included gardening, playing cards, an occasional trip to the casino to play the slots, and spending time with family.
Helen is survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, a great-great-nephew, her sister-in-law Kathleen Canter and many friends. Her spirit, sweet nature, sense of humor and strength will be greatly missed by those who loved her.
Special thanks to Franciscan Hospice, and the staff of Hallmark Manor, Federal Way.
In lieu of flowers, Helen’s family suggests that you put $20 in a slot machine or make a donation to the Auburn Valley Humane Society.
A Graveside Service for Helen will be held Friday, July 18, 2014 at 11:15am at Tahoma National Cemetery, 18600 SE 240th St., Kent, Washington 98042

Things that will forever remind us of you: ponytail, hand&foot, baked beans (none as good as yours), black-eyed Susans, creeping Charlie, Milk Money, Auntie My Helen blue, raspberries, Horse Heaven Hills, crochet, strawberry shakes, old country music, and the owl blanket. Your strength inspires us on a daily basis. We love you and miss you terribly yet rejoice in knowing that we will see you again one day!
Will never forget the Canter sisters (O my mistake sister in-laws) at my office, what a bunch of characters they were together. Wasn’t sure who whas taking care of who! Sorry, Kathleen!
Will miss you and your charm! Jim
We will forever consider Fridays “Casino Night”. Aunt Helen you were always raring to go it didnt matter where we were headed. So much laughter listening to you and Mom share the stories of past trips taken. When asked what memories were favorites you said “dancing” we know your danicing now…. Miss you much
I’m glad I was able to enjoy so many lunches with you, Helen.
I could see the wonderful love & support Kathy & Connie gave you, & I know how much you appreciated them & the rest of your family.
Rest in peace…….
Remembering all the fun times the four of us had over the years. We dined, danced, traveled the world and spent many hours just being together. I’ll miss our shopping trips, lunching and just chatting about our guys. Chance made us “sisters”, love made us friends. Always in my heart…..Now you are at peace….
