Helena JuneGILKSIt is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Helena June Gilks (née O'Kane),
a much-loved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Helena was the devoted wife of Geoffrey Gilks,
a cherished mum to Sharon and Andrea, and a loving step-mum to Karen and Anthony.
She was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren
and a treasured great-grandmother to ten, all of whom brought her immense joy and pride. She will be remembered for her love of family, her warmth,
and the many lives she touched.

Funeral arrangements are as follows:
Friday 6th March 2026
* Requiem Mass at Christ the King Catholic Church at 12 noon
* Followed by cremation at Canley Crematorium
* Celebration of Life at Christ the King Parish centre at 2pm

Arrangements are being handled by
Grimmett & Timms Funeral Directors,
118 Albany Road, Earlsdon, Coventry, CV5 6NG.

Family and friends are warmly invited to join us as we remember Helena
and celebrate a life filled with love, family, and lasting memories.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Helena. She was one of the loveliest, most caring ladies I have met.
I will miss the hug you always gave me when I saw you.
Sending love to Geoff and all the family.
