Helen Toth Obituary Hamilton: In loving memory of Helen Toth, one of Hamilton’s first female uniformed police officers.
Helen Toth died at the age of 85 in Henderson, Nevada, on April 6. Toth joined the department on January 9, 1959, as a 21-year-old coming from a part-time bank job.
She was determined to keep her pregnancy a secret so she could continue working as long as possible because she loved her job so much.
In 1962, Toth was expecting Carla, her first child. There was no such thing as maternity leave back then, so she would have to quit her job when Carla was born. In Canada, paid maternity leave didn’t start until 1971.
Words fall short of expressing our grief for your loss, as we mourn with family and friends for this great loss. Please accept our condolences and may our prayers help comfort you. Please receive our heartfelt condolences.
Feel free to drop condolences messages and prayers for the family and friends of the deceased as it will go a very long way at this difficult time of theirs.
