Obituary For Helen Mary Embury

Helen Mary Embury of Clairmont AB, formerly of Grande Prairie AB, passed away on March 15th, 2025, at the Valleyview Health Center at the age of 77 years.

Helen was born on September 11th, 1947, in Beaverlodge AB, she was number 10 of 12 children.

Helen went from stay-at-home Mom to many jobs that kept her busy, and then she decided she wanted to be her own boss, so she went to school to become a bookkeeper. Helen loved to create stuff. She sewed her own clothes, knitted, crocheted, quilted and dabbled in woodworking. Helen also enjoyed going to garage sales and thrift store shopping.

Helen will be sadly missed by her children, Cori (Wade), Evan (Sandy), Tara (Tim), Robyn (Partner), grandchildren, Alexandra, Jessica (Madden), Makayla (Ryder), Parker, Kenya, Jordana, Jasper, Arthur, Isaiah, Joseph, Estelle, great grandchildren, Karsyn, Kamryn and Pearson. Helen leaves behind a whole bunch of people who loved her, were blessed to be her family and honored to be her friend.

She was predeceased by her parents, Ian and Isabella McEachern, parents’ in-law Jim and Mary Embury, husband Doug Embury, sister Shirley Wilson, brother Doug McEachern and her sister May Jones.

A Celebration of Life is to be held at Olivers Funeral Chapel (10005 107 Avenue Grande Prairie AB) on Saturday, March 29 at 4:30 pm. The service will be live streamed for the loved ones that are unable to make it.

Helen was a wonderful person, whom I had the pleasure of knowing for almost 30 years. She let me call her mom and my daughter called her grandma. Along with her crafting, she also had a green thumb. She had plants in her house, I was jealous because I couldn't keep a house plant alive no matter what I tried. Helen, you were a wonderful friend and I will miss you. Rest in Paradise, we will see each other again. Lots of love 🥰💔😢🥰💔😢
