Vale Helen Proud


Geelong Trades Hall Council is deeply saddened by the loss of our executive member, Helen Proud. Helen passed away during the night. Helen was a life member of the Health Services Union and a delegate who served on Council for nearly 20 years. Helen has been a past president of Council.

Our deepest condolences go out to Helen’s family and friends. Helen was a wonderful trade unionist that was never shy to speak her mind. There are not many people around that didn’t have Helen’s soup on a picket line or lockout. She will be sadly missed.
