It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of a remarkable wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend.
She was a woman of extraordinary kindness, quiet strength, and unconditional love. She embraced life with gratitude and joy, finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures; a peaceful walk, stopping to smell the lilacs, sharing tea and sweets with friends, and enjoying a good laugh together.
Her greatest joy was her family. Her children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the center of her world and her most treasured gifts. She loved each of them wholeheartedly and without condition, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering love that will continue to be carried forward by all whose lives she touched.
Even in her final days, she faced every challenge with remarkable dignity, grace, and courage. More concerned for those she loved than herself, she continually reassured her family that she was okay and gently reminded them to look after one another. That selflessness defined her life, always putting others first and always leading with love.
Though small in stature, she possessed an immeasurable heart. Her compassion, generosity, gentle spirit, and warm sense of humour touched countless lives. She leaves behind a lasting legacy of love that will continue to live on in all who knew her.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her husband, Jim.
She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Tammy (Robert), Rhonda, and Angie (Dana); her cherished grandchildren, Matthew (Heather), Tyler (Dominique), Ryan (Crystal), Christopher, Hayley (Dan), Shane (Chloe), Emily (Chris), Clare (Vance), Owen (Madison), Carter, and Helena; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Rylie, Madison, Evelyn, and Harper and stepchildren, Krystal, Kelsea and Jamie.
Her sisters, Darilyn (Winston), Joyce (Raymond), and Carolyn; her brothers, Michael, Donald, Brendan (Cathie), and James (Tina); as well as her many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends, all of whom will miss her deeply.
She was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Joyce Keating; her brothers, Danny and Graham; and her beloved grandson, Michael.
She will be remembered for her gentle nature, her quiet resilience, and the unconditional love she so freely gave. Those who had the privilege of knowing her were made better by her kindness, and her memory will forever remain a blessing to all who loved her.
Though she may be gone from our sight, she will forever remain in our hearts. She was, and always will be, one amazing little woman.

To my dearest cousins
Tammy, Rhonda, Angie and their families. My heart truly breaks for you all, sending you my deepest condolences. I have many fond memories of aunt Clare growing up in our younger years. On Airport rd stopping by for lunch and she always had cookies and that big smile on her face. She was truly loved, very loving woman and you could see the love she had for her family. Hold all her memories close, she is no longer in pain or suffering. Now she will be looking over us all and I can see that big smile lighting up a room, when mentioning her name. Sending big Hugs and lots of love, she maybe gone but never will be forgotten. RIP to My aunt Clare <3

To my beautiful sister, I want you to know how loved you are. The words that have been written here couldn’t be any truer, they all did a wonder full job, and I know you are looking down on them now with so much pride and love. My heart is aching right now, because now it’s so real. I miss you so much already.
I will treasure our memories forever, I will miss our chats, and our video calls, but I will talk to you often.
Maybe you can send me a sigh that you hear me sometimes, ok, I would love that.
May you rest in peace my beautiful sister, and your smile brighten up everyday.
Until I see you again, I will hold you in my heart, I love you so very much, your loving sister joyce.
