Helen went home to be with the Lord on Saturday May 3rd, 2008. She was born in Rush Lake, Saskatchewan on January 24th, 1915 to parents Johann and Helena Wall.

Eventually she returned to Herbert where on January 2nd, 1988 she married George Rogerson. George passed away in the spring of 1991. Helen moved to the Herbert Nursing Home in May 2005. Helen’s passion was driving…she would find any excuse to go on a road trip. It could have been the birth of a child, a birthday, an anniversary or just because she wanted to. As passionate as she was about driving, she was just as dispassionate about the mountains. If they were 5 miles away she was okay, but any closer and then they blocked her view. She loved the openness of the prairies. Helen was predeceased by: – Husband P.F.
