Obituary of KELEIGH ANDREA NIDER

KELEIGH ANDREA NIDER (nee Mansfield) On Sunday July 24, 2016 at the age of 42, after a cancer diagnosis in January, God wrapped His loving arms around our angel Keleigh, and she is now our angel in heaven. Treasured memories of Keleigh will forever remain with the greatest joy in her life, her son Brian, his father Walter, along with her parents, Brian and Helen Mansfield, her sisters Tracey and Shannon, and her nephew and niece Andrew and Jamie whom she adored deeply. Kel’s greatest joy was her family. Her son Brian was born in January 2003 and from that day on Kel’s greatest joy was being a mom to Brian. He was her greatest gift and she his greatest comfort and support. Keleigh grew up in Southdale and graduated from J.H. Bruns Collegiate in 1991. Throughout high school and university, she worked part-time at an orthodontic office where she met her closest friend, Jan Peters. Throughout Kel’s life she was blessed with many friends who loved her. Shortly after graduating from the Faculty of Commerce at the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree, she helped her future husband Dr. Walter Nider build his orthodontic practice, a job that she remained at and committed to until her diagnosis. Keleigh received exceptional care throughout her illness and we would like to extend special thanks to the teams at CancerCare Manitoba especially Dr. Shantanu Banerji, the Concordia Hospital Emergency Department, and Dr. Eva Smil for the care and comfort shown to her and our family. The celebrations of Keleigh’s life will take place at St. Anne Ukrainian Catholic Church (35 Marcie Street) beginning on Friday evening with prayers at 7pm and continue on Saturday with Mass at 10:30am officiated by Rev. Fr. Mark Gnutel, with lunch to follow. A private interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, it was Keleigh’s wish to have donations made to St. Alphonsus School.
