Obituary

Helga was bom to Bogga and

23, 1912 in the Mary Hill
District. She lived in the Lundar
area all of her life, most of those on
the family daiiy farm until her re-
tirement. During her retirement her
door was always open for a cup of
coffee and the best homemade
bread. She enjoyed gardening, knit-
ting, reading and playing cards with
her friends at the New Horizons
Qub. She was also a member of the
Lundar Museum.
Helga’s greatest joys were her
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren. “Amma supported them and
took great pride in their many
achievements.
She is survived by her five chil-
dren Bob and Fran of Winnipeg,
Jean and Ken Hartle of Winnipeg,
Ellen Henry of Lake Francis, Carl
and Pat of Vancouver and Harold

and Heather Hallson. Great-gran-
children are Taylor and Garrett; one
brother Dori; brothers-in-law
George Edward and Roy Caldwell,
John and Pat Fjeldsted; an uncle,
Bjorgvin Hallson along with many
nieces, nephews and friends.
Helga was predeceased by her
husband Robert in 1971, a son-in-
law Brian Henry in 1993, her par-
ents, brothers John and Steini, sis-
ters Bjorg and Jorunn, step-sister

aldur went to the USA where he com-
pleted his Phd. at the University of
Chicago in 1988. The following two
years he worked for the space pro-
gram in Houston. “We were examin-
ing an asteroid from Mars for signs of
water and our conclusion was that in
all probability it had been in water.
These conclusions created much atten-
tion at the time.” Haraldur now works
for Texas Tech University in Lub-
bock, Texas, examining rocks for car-
bonic acid and water to determine
changes in climate. His work is simi-
lar to that in Houston, except this time
it involved earthly rocks. “These new
conclusions don’t surprise me. The
tests I did were done on a certain rock
known to be fiom Mars. The new tests
were done on another rock found in
Antartica which has only recently
been determined to come from Mars,”
said Haraldur in an interview with
Morgunblaðið.
