Helen Vetero

It is with love and sadness that we announce the passing of Helen Vetero on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at the age of 76.

Helen built a rewarding career as a registered nurse specializing in neurosurgery at London Health Sciences Centre for more than 20 years. She was a dedicated and compassionate nurse who made a lasting difference in the lives of her patients and colleagues.

After retiring, Helen enjoyed spending time with her close friends, tending her garden, reading, knitting, and the companionship of her beloved cat, Phoebe. She never stopped talking about her cherished dog, Chester, and anyone who knew Helen could see her face light up whenever his name came up.Helen will be remembered for her warmth, gentle spirit, and genuine kindness. She had a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humour that brought smiles to those around her.

Helen will be deeply missed by her son, Mark Vetero, and her daughter, Christina Vetero. She was predeceased by her parents, Margaret and Cedric MacDonald.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Helen’s life at Westview Funeral Home, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Friday, July 10, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.  All who knew Helen are warmly invited to share stories, reminisce, and celebrate a life well lived over food and refreshments.
