June 11, 1932 – June 6, 2017

With profound sorrow we announce the passing of our deeply beloved Mother, Helen Keith (Bugera) of Kamloops. She passed away peacefully on June 6, 2017 at the age of 84.

Mom was born in Vita, Manitoba, the daughter of Mike and Mary (Kiss) Bugera. She was the third of ten children.

She met and married the love of her life, Gordon Kyle Keith in 1956, and moved west to B.C. (Chilliwack/Aldergrove) and together they raised four beautiful daughters, Linda (Bob) Shields of Kamloops, Barbara (Bart) Abercrombie of Mission, Donna (Len) Bourgeault of Kamloops and Heather (John) Fehr of Kamloops, plus 13 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Mom stayed at home to raise her family, and in 1990 they moved to Lac La Hache where she served as a Post Mistress for a number of years. She loved her veggie and flower gardens, and was well known for them in the area as “The house with the garden”. She was also an avid angler. She particularly loved ice fishing and spent many hours on lakes in the surrounding area of Lac La Hache.

In 2011 they made Kamloops their home, and on December 8, 2016 celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.

Mom was a kind gentle soul, loved by all who knew her. She was an inspiration to us all and we will miss her dearly.
