Reflecting on their union together which lasted over 50 years, Owie wrote, “When Helen came into my life over five decades ago, she lovingly made our home a safe space. She united my family and treated my late mother, Aghatise Owie, who delivered 11 children for my father of whom I am the only surviving child with the deepest compassion and honour.
“She showed unwavering love to my family members and friends, and through her faith, strength, and grace, held us all together.”
Describing her as a God-fearing woman, a great manager of resources, and a devoted wife and mother, Owie added that “Helen was a true devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her life was a testament to humility, kindness, and enduring service. She was my pillar, my peace, and my partner in all things. Her quiet strength and abiding faith were the foundation of our family life.”
The statement also mentioned that the deceased is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren, and a large network of loved ones whose lives she profoundly impacted.
Owie requested prayers for the peaceful repose of her soul and called upon the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, asking that she wrap Helen in her heavenly blue mantle and gently present her to the throne of grace.
The statement indicated that additional information regarding funeral rites and arrangements will be provided in due time.
