OBITUARY FOR EDNA HELFET
EDNA HELFET DIED ON APRIL 17, 2024.
Born Edna Landsman in George, Western Cape, she would go on to live in Calvinia, Cape Town, and Boston before returning “home” to Plettenberg Bay, a mere fifty miles from where she was born, in 2001. With her beloved husband Arnold, she raised three children in Cape Town and travelled to the four corners of the earth.
Edna was a long-time member of the Black Sash and a volunteer for many years with the South African Council of Churches Dependants Conference. As a Rotarian, she pioneered the introduction of MedicAlert bracelets in South Africa. The venerable matriarch of her far-flung family, she was the loving mother of three, grandmother of five, and great-grandmother of five more.
Edna passed away peacefully on April 17, 2024, in Plettenberg Bay aged one hundred and two. She led an extraordinarily well-lived life.
