Obituary of KEITH MELVYN SETTEE

KEITH MELVYN SETTEE

Peacefully on May 26, 2018, Keith passed away at the Oakview Personal Care Home at the age of 74.

Dad was predeceased by his wife Sharon in 2006. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, James (Theressa) and Eileen (Gerry), his five grandchildren; Pierre, Adrien, Madeline, Meghan and Myles, sister Esme (Gordon), brothers Norman, Brian (Mary), Burke, Lyle and Aubrey (Moira) and many nieces and nephews.

Dad was born on June 1, 1943 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Esther and Norman Settee. Dad grew up in the Elmwood area enjoying many days spent at Chalmers Community Club, which would later become a big part of his life.

In 1965 dad married his best friend Sharon and settled down to start a family. After a couple moves out west the family settled back in the Elmwood area where they lived until 2006.

Dad worked as a shipper/receiver at various companies throughout his working career. In 1988, due to a diagnosis of Parkinson ’s disease, dad worked from home in the role of “domestic engineer” which he greatly enjoyed.

We have many fond memories of this time as we were often the recipients of dad’s homemade baking and cooking which was delicious.

Thank you to the staff at Oakview Place for the wonderful and compassionate care you have given to our dad over the last 11 years.

A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, June 4, 2018 at 11:00 at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.
