Obituary for Helen Gascho
Helen Barbara (Weber) Gascho, formerly of Harriston, passed away peacefully at Strathcona LTC., Mount Forest, on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, in her 92nd year.
Beloved wife of the late Jack Gascho.
Loving mother of Wanda Gascho-White and her husband David White of Toronto, Sherri-Gascho Welch and her husband Tim Welch of Cambridge, and mother-in-law of Lisa Gascho of Harriston.
Proud grandmother of Dylan White, Evan White and Ciara Hart, Galen White, Darcy Welch and Chris Mayberry, Aaron Welch, Kathleen Welch, Benjamin Welch, John Reed and Robbie Gascho, and great-grandmother of David Gascho.
Predeceased by her son Trent Gascho.
Helen was the last surviving member of her family being predeceased by her siblings Albert Weber and wife Eileen, Alma Dowling and husband Bill, Bill Weber and wife Lillian, Norman Weber and wife Dorothy, Meinert Weber, Gladys Greenwoood and husband Doug, Marie Mallett and husband Harold, Verna Elliott and husband Lloyd and Ruth McLellan and husband Gordon.
Helen was born and raised on a farm in Minto Township and married the love of her life, Jack Gascho in 1954. She loved small town life, the beautiful home that Jack built for her, and most of all, her family. Music was in-fused through all of Helen’s long life, from dancing to the Weber family band, learning to play piano, singing in church choirs and as a soloist and then finally, to many happy hours making music with her children and grandchildren. Her sunny disposition carried her through good times and hard times; resilient and cheerful to the end of her days. She will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered.
A private family funeral service will be held at Hardy-Lee Funeral Home, Harriston on Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 3.00 p.m. Pastor Jenn Brown officiating. The service will be live-streamed.
