Obituary of Hyacinth Davis

In Loving Memory of Hyacinth Davis
May 6, 1951 – July 27, 2025

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Hyacinth Davis, who departed this life on Sunday, July 27, 2025, in Brampton, Ontario. Born in Braeton, St. Catherine, Jamaica, on May 6, 1951, Hyacinth lived a life marked by deep love, generosity, and quiet strength. She was a force.

She built a proud and accomplished career at Kodak Canada Inc., where she was respected for her work ethic, warmth and laughter. But Hyacinth’s truest joys were found at home—in her garden, among her flowers, and in the kitchen where her meals brought comfort, joy, and connection to all who gathered at her table. She could outcook anyone and made even the simplest dishes unforgettable.

Hyacinth is lovingly remembered by her cherished husband, Gordon Helwig, her devoted daughter, Natasha Helwig Mckoy and her son-in law, Andron Mckoy. She was a beloved sister to Vernal, Madge, Yvonne, Juliet, Winston, Rohan, Robert, Clayton, Henry, and Natalie. She leaves behind not only a legacy of love, but the promise of a new generation—Hyacinth is a soon-to-be grandmother, a role she would have looked forward to with joy and anticipation.

A visitation and funeral service will be held at Malton Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Glendale Memorial Gardens. Family and friends are warmly invited to the repass, which will take place at her family home at 319 Maria Antonia Road, Woodbridge.

Hyacinth’s life was a testament to faith, family, and fierce devotion. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and lovingly celebrated.
