With heavy hearts, we acknowledge the passing of a former colleague, Helen Spencer Serafinowicz. Helen was born on July 13, 1954, in Fort George and passed away on Thursday October 3, 2024, in Chisasibi.
Helen was a residential school survivor, a testament to her strength and resilience. She worked for the Cree School Board since its inception, beginning her career in Val-d'Or. Over her 40-plus years of service, she held various positions, including Office Agent Principal Class, Administrative Technician, Administrative Officer, and Administrative Technician, which was her final role before illness forced her to step away.
Helen took immense pride in her work, often going above and beyond the regular workday. Her dedication to the Cree School Board, her colleagues, and especially the students of the Cree Nation, was unparalleled.
We extend our most sincere condolences to her loved ones during this difficult time.
