Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Heidi O’Keefe announces her passing which occurred at the Saint John Regional Hospital on August 30, 2020. Born in Halifax, NS she was the daughter of Mildred (Weeds) and the late Theodore Kelly.
At the height of her illness, Heidi maintained her sense of humour, beautiful smile and concern for family and friends. Her family admired her ability to stay strong and positive, never giving up hope.
Heidi received a degree from the University of New Brunswick in Business Administration. Prior to retirement, Heidi spent over 20 years working for the Government and People of Canada.
She is survived by her daughter Alexandra O’Keefe, her sisters; Kimberley (Alister) Graham, Shari (Fred) Mann, Jill (Emmerson MacDonald) Kelly, her nieces; Krystin Mann, Erin Graham, Nicole Mann, Ashley Graham, several aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many life long friends.
She leaves behind her special canine companion Mesa, who has found a loving home with Karie.
The family would like to express thanks to the Doctors, nurses and staff of 5AS, 4CN, 3DS and 3BN for their care and compassion shown towards Heidi.
Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland road (646-2424).
