Sirvid, Helen Jane:

Also known as Dr Helen Jane Richardson and by many as Emily, passed away peacefully at home.

Beloved wife to Andrew, mother of Charlotte, Vienna and Anthony. Sister to Diana and very much loved daughter of Suzy and Ted.

Helen was a talented academic who tirelessly worked through her PhD even while very sick. She was also an activist, an anarchist, a steampunk and a creative soul. She touched the world, her community, friends and family and enriched them all. She was a vegetarian and later vegan, who had compassion for all things living.

"She will be sadly missed".

In lieu of flowers donations to the Mary Potter Hospice or Cancer Society would be appreciated and may be left at the service.

Messages to the 'Sirvid Family' may be left in Helen's tribute book on this page or posted c/- PO Box 14-366, Kilbirnie 6241.
