April 16, 1924 – October 15, 2024   

It is with love and fond memories that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Louise Larose, who left us on October 15, 2024, at the age of 100. Elizabeth was born in London, England, on April 16, 1924. In 1945, she came to Canada from England to join her husband, Kenneth Keith, settling in Edmonton, Alberta, where they raised five children: Kenneth “John” Keith, Gary Keith, Gwen Burgar, Lorne Keith, and Darryl Keith. 

In 1973, Elizabeth moved to Kamloops, B.C., where she became known for her dedication to volunteer work, her love of crafts, and her passion for dancing. In 1982, she married Peter Larose, with whom she enjoyed traveling, dancing, and spending time with family and friends until his passing in 2004. Elizabeth continued to dance up until her 100th birthday, with her partner of nine years, Robert Irvine, embracing life with enthusiasm and grace. 

Elizabeth is lovingly remembered by her children, John (Peggy) Keith, Gwen (Cary) Burgar, and Lorne (Pam) Keith; her grandchildren, Micheal Keith, Cory Keith, Shelly Pedersen, David Maertz, Kerry Burgar, Jesse Keith, Jordan Keith, Michelle Hannah, Trish Martian, and Alex Campbell; her 15 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her loving husband, Peter Larose; her sons, Gary Keith and Darryl Keith; and her sisters, Joan Patterson and Freda Calhoun. 

A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 6, at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops, B.C., where Elizabeth will be interred and laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Peter. Her family invites friends and loved ones to join them in celebrating a remarkable life well-lived.
