parents Maurice and Bride Keating; siblings Pad, her twin, and his son
Shawn, Eileen and Anthony (her crib buddy and great friend), and Jack;

(Doug), Mock Maurice (Gail), Inch Donna (Bob), Carolyn (Jim), Porky

in-laws Jenny and Beth Keating, Lol (Bill), Art O’Keefe, Marion (Tom),
Frank, Pius (Yvonne), and Donna Leonard; as well as special friends
Tom and Rosemary Bennett.
Our mom was the best mother, grandmother, great-grandmother,
sister, aunt, sister-in-law, neighbour and friend, with a kind
heart. She gave so much and did without herself and was so
very proud of all her family. We all meant the world to her.
“The more the merrier” for “jiggs” on
Sunday. She called everyone to come and pass it on with two
large boilers, stove and oven full of grub. She did the head
count and was right in her glee. She started shopping for
Christmas in January and “gifts for everyone,” husbands,
wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, in-laws, neighbours, friends and many
presents for all.
Giving and sharing is what made mom so happy. Her whole life
growing up with very little and large family of her own, love and
sharing was all she knew.
The loved ones mom lost are in their glee now that she’s on
her way. “The party is on with lots of music and
smiles.”
Many thanks to mom’s card, bingo and church buddies,
neighbours and friends who helped her so much since Dad’s and Kelly’s
passing. Mowing the lawn, plowing the driveway, bringing her to
church, bingo and cards, coming to her home playing music, phone
calls, so many kind things she was so grateful
for.
To Dr. Kirby, Bev Morgan Vokey, doctors, nurses and staff at
the Placentia Health Centre, as well as her homecare workers Adele and
Jennifer, thanks for your sincere kindness. Mom thought you were the
best.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher’s Funeral Home,
Placentia. Visitation to take place on Wednesday from 5pm to
9pm, and Thursday from 12pm to 9pm. Mass of Christian Burial
to take place 11am on Friday, January 31st at St. Jerome’s Church,
Long Harbour. Interment to follow at Dermot McGettigan
Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia.
“A Mother’s Love is a Blessing.”
