In memoriam Helen Armstrong (1938 – 2019)
It is with sadness that we let the British Columbia CSNM community know about the the passing of a person responsible for the building of the profession and the education that went with it.
A
Langara faculty member until fall 1999 when she took early retirement, Helen
will be remembered for her work as Department Chair of the Nutrition and Food
Services Management department. During her time at the College she taught and
inspired a generation of nutrition management students sharing her passion and
knowledge of the food service in the healthcare sector.
Helen
is remembered as a generous, compassionate, ‘glass half-full’ kind of person,
who always found the good in others. Many of the graduates of the Nutrition and
Food Service Management Diploma program will remember her fondly.
Ever
philanthropic, Helen established a scholarship for Nutrition and Food Service
Management diploma program students in her name in 2012. Donations to
this scholarship in her memory can be made through the Langara College
Foundation. https://langara.ca/foundation/donate/index.html .
