WETTLAUFER: Charles « Keith » – It is with great sadness that Keith’s family announce his peaceful passing at the Hospice Waterloo Region on Sunday, March 16, 2025 at the age of 92.
Keith will be lovingly remembered by his chosen daughter, Dianne Wilbee (Jeff 2019), grandson Derek Wilbee (Michele), great grandson Caleb Wilbee (Laura) and great granddaughter Keira Wilbee. Keith was predeceased by his parents, Anna (nee Mills) and Carl Wettlaufer, his partner Ruth Moore (2002), son-in-law Jeff Wilbee (2019) and granddaughter-in-law Deirdre Wilbee (2017).
Keith grew up in Maplewood. In his youth he assisted his parents in their general store and worked on area farms. As a young man Keith was active in sports and travelled extensively, in his adult years, throughout North America and Europe.
Keith was a man of great strength, resilience, independence and intellect. He was an avid reader of non fiction books and numerous business magazines. He retained enviable knowledge from his readings, past experiences and current affairs which he enjoyed sharing. He was an invaluable resource to all. He loved country and western music amongst other genres and enjoyed evenings of shared pizza with his great grandson, Caleb while watching sports.
His early career included work at the Stratford CNR shops. After a lengthy apprenticeship Keith became a hydro lineman working for Ontario Hydro then British Columbia Hydro. While living in Vancouver Keith experienced a life altering accident. Following extensive medical care and rehabilitation he returned to Maplewood. His return proved providential as he then met Ruth. Together they shared many wonderful times at the Happy Hills Retirement Resort and where he remarkably lived independently during better weather months after Ruth’s passing. Keith subsequently resided long term with Jeff and Dianne where he was a much loved family member. He eventually relocated to the Aspira Doon Village Retirement Home in Kitchener.
Keith’s family express their appreciation to the Retirement Home staff and to Grand River Hospital staff. Also, to the Hospice Waterloo Region for their care and compassion for Keith and his family as Keith transitioned to his Lord.
Life has many Chapters and for Keith’s family his presence within our family unit has brought immeasurable pleasure and his absence leaves a spot unable to be filled by others. Sending our love to Heaven where we believe Keith is at peace, reunited with Ruth, Jeff and his parents and once again is whole. We will miss you dear Keith.
In celebration of Keith’s life, a private family funeral service will be held at the Francis Funeral Home, Tavistock. Cremation has occurred with private internment at a later date.
Memorial donations to the Hospice Waterloo Region or a charity of your choice would be appreciated and can be made through the funeral home. Personal condolences can be posted at www.francisfh.ca
