Her spirit lives on in her 4 children Dale (Marnie) Keller, Gene (Myra) Keller, Diane Keller & Doyal (Valerie) Keller, 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions there will not be a formal service. In lieu of flowers we invite you to donate to the Dawson Creek Rotary Manor Recreation Fund, 1120 90 Avenue, Dawson Creek, BC V1G 5A3.
Here is the poem she wanted us to share in memory of her.
When I’m Gone
When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done,
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I’ve had loads of fun.
Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day,
Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay
And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west,
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.
