We Remember
KECK, Ella
—
It is with great sadness that we announce our beloved Mother, Oma, and great-grandmother, Ella Keck (Braun), passed away peacefully at Lake Country Lodge, December 23, 2021, at the age of 92. Ella is at peace and is reunited with her husband Richard. Ella is survived by her daughter Heidi Rieger (Chris), her son Norbert Keck (Karlene); grandchildren Marty, Crystal, Lisa, and Kelly; great-grandchildren Jordis, Judd, Jaden, and Abigail; and brother-in-law Art Keck, and family in Germany.
Ella, Richard, Heidi, Norbert, and Art immigrated to Calgary in 1961 from Germany. Ella and Richard retired to Lake Country in 1980, to their new home with its fruit, walnut, and hazelnut trees, grapevines, and large garden. Ella was a hard worker who loved family and friends and had a great love for gardening and the outdoors. Her love and kindness will never be forgotten.
The family wishes to thank the nurses, LPNs, care aides, and staff at Lake Country Lodge for all their kindness and compassionate care.
A private family service at a later date.

Meine aufrichtige Anteilnahme an die Familie im fernen Kanada.
Ich bin sicher, dass sie die Angehörigen, die ihr vorausgegangen sind, wiedertreffen wird.
Ich wünsche ihr ewiges Leben in Frieden.
Menschen, die wir geliebt haben, gehen nie wirklich von uns.
Sie leben immer in unseren Herzen weiter.
Liebe Heidi und Norbert und Familien,
Es fällt uns nicht leicht, die passenden Worte zu finden,
doch möchten wir unser aufrichtiges Mitgefühl aussprechen.
Tante Elli war immer eine herzensgute Seele.
Die Zeit, die wir als Familie mit ihr in Deutschland und Kanada verbringen durften, werden
uns immer in Erinnerungen bleiben

Dear Heidi and Norbert and families,
It is not easy for us to find the right words,
but we would like to express our sincere sympathy.
Aunt Elli was always a kind-hearted soul.
The time we were able to spend with her as a family in Germany and Canada will always remain in our memories.
always remain in our memories.

Dear Heidi, Norbert, and family,
I was very saddened to hear of Elly’s passing. I remember my godmother as a very friendly and hard-working person. I used to always look forward to her visits. Elly’s last visit in Germany must have been in the early 2000s shortly before my parents, Elly’s brother Kurt and his wife Christel, both died in 2007.
Sincerest condolences,
Inge and family
