THOMAS
JOHN KEOUGH
1925 - 2013
On Monday, June 10, 2013, Tom left
us to be reunited with his beloved Teresa. He said good-bye to his three
children, Tom (Marg), Cathy (Terry Bilyk) and Mary (Al Cairns) and to his
grandchildren Robert, Kris, Michael, Matthew, Andrew, Kate, Elizabeth, Linsey
and McKenzie. He also dearly loved his great grandchildren, Emily, Finn, Alexa,
Nolan, Ella, Leah, Mason, Paige and one pending.
Tom grew up in St. James and after
graduating from St. Paul’s High School he served overseas for four years in
England and Europe. Returning home, he started a successful and lengthy career
at Eaton’s. In 1970, he joined the House of Teak as a partner, but left in 1980
to fulfill a lifetime dream of opening a specialty women’s shoe store on
Pembina Highway.
When Teresa was diagnosed with
Alzheimer's, Tom retired, and these became some of his finest years as he cared
for her with devotion and love. He was very active with the Alzheimer's Society
as a lecturer and volunteer and also with the St. Boniface Hospital Auxiliary
Board and St. Ann’s Parish.
Tom
was witty, gregarious and he loved to flirt and tease. He loved people and
people loved him. Be in peace Dad.
A private Memorial Service will take
place on Tuesday, June 18, 2013.
We would like to thank the
remarkable staff at Deer Lodge Centre.
Donations in Tom’s memory may be
made to the Alzheimer’s Society, 10 – 120 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2.
