In the sweet embrace of memories gone by, we celebrate the life of Helga
Stemich, known affectionately to many as the "Fancy Lady." Born on
January 30, 1941, Helga was a radiant beacon of hard work, all things
creative and dedication to friends and family. Her sparkling spirit
took its final bow with her granddaughter Kirstyn by her side on October
30, 2025, leaving a legacy of joy and inspiration behind.

Helga was not just any woman; she was a symphony of vibrant tapestry,
richly woven with spirited adventures around the world and lovingly
cultivated an enormous network of long time friends and family around
the globe. Her glamorous presence was a testament to her zest for life
and she made sure to elevate memories for everyone by decorating for
every special occasion and holiday. She leaves behind a lifetime of
precious memories for friends and family.

The special bond "Omi" shared with her granddaughter Kirstyn and
grandson Peter was one of pure, immeasurable love, a true testament to
her unwavering commitment to family.

Helga also felt blessed to have an extended family to enjoy the later
years of life with along side her beloved previously departed husband
Ludger Stemich. The intertwining threads of their love and shared
experiences will continue to weave a comforting blanket of memories.

Daughter Manya, Son Mark and family would like to extend their sincerest
and heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at Vista Pointe Lake Havasu for
their compassion and care during Helga's final journey.

As we remember Helga, we are reminded of the words of Maya Angelou,
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel." Helga Stemich, our
Fancy Lady, made us all feel loved, and for that, she will remain
forever in our hearts.

Over the next few weeks as Helga makes one final road trip back to
Canada with daughter Manya, please share your cherished memories and
upload photos to her memorial page. Your stories are the melodies in the
symphony of her incredible life. Let's continue to celebrate her, just
as she celebrated life itself to the fullest.

In Lieu of flowers please make a donation directly to The American Heart
Association or to Vista Pointe Care Facility.
