Paula McKeen

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Paula McKeen on May 27, 2023.

Predeceased by parents Piara, and Swarn Kaur Ghag, and brothers Rajinder and Stnam (Sutty). She is survived by sisters Banso, and Simby (Michael Kachur), brother Gordy, her loving husband Scott, daughter Keri (Rogan Anderson), son Michael (Amanda), and her beloved grandchildren.

Paula was born July 9, 1956 in Atholi, Punjab, India, and immigrated to Canada with family at the age of 3.

She graduated from NorKam Secondary, and worked at Woodwards before training as a care aid in Westlock, Alta.

In 1980 she moved back to Kamloops, started a family with Scott, and worked at Overlander Extended Care for over 40 years, retiring in January 2023.

Paula was part of the Girl Guides community for 11 years, starting as a Brownie Leader, then District Treasurer, and Commissioner.

She had an incredible green thumb, and spent 43 years tending her beautiful garden. Paula enjoyed travelling especially to Mexico and Vegas, and always said yes when invited on a trip.

Her greatest achievement was being an amazing Nunni to her grandchildren Naveed and Jeevan Anderson, and Claire and Michael Jr. McKeen.

As per her request, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the SPCA in her memory.
