Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCONSTANCE MARGARET KELLEHER September 17, 1930 - January 24, 2018 Connie passed away quietly at her home, with her daughter Sam by her side on January 24, 2018. Over the past two years, as my mother's health was increasingly compromised, she frequently told me that she had lived a good, long life. That life began in St. Helens, Merseyside, England, where she was born and raised. She moved to Dublin for university and completed medical school at Trinity College. More importantly for my mom, she met and married the love of her life, Dr. Frank Kelleher. She and my dad embarked on the adventure of emigrating to Canada, eventually settling in Manitoba. They enjoyed their life together, hosting guests and friends at their home and travelling. My mother's life changed forever with the loss of my father in 1995. She lived a quieter life and was fortunate to have good friends and care providers over the years. My thanks to all the people who have supported and cared for my mother over the last several years. I am grateful for your care and compassion, which allowed my mom to live as happy and comfortable as possible. People who knew my mother always commented on her kindness, friendly manner and what a pleasure she was to be around. In honour of my mother's memory, I encourage you to extend that kindness to those around you.

Dear Sam, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have many touching memories of both your mom and dad dating way back to 1972 when I showed up at your parents' doorstep at the young age of 23 to commence my career as a veterinarian. Your mom and dad welcomed me with open arms and treated me like family. I will never forget the kindness they bestowed upon me year after year after year. If I ever needed advice on anything your dad would discuss things with me and offer great words of wisdom. Many times on my way home from work I was invited in to have supper with them or they would say "if you are ever at a loose end come on over". I could never thank your mom and dad enough for all they did for me. Your mom was a wonderful lady and your dad a true gentleman. I reflect on them often and miss them. - Posted by: Merv Madill (Family friend) on: Feb 10, 2018

I also remember both of your parents being very welcoming. We would go swimming in the pool and I distinctly remember your mother's sign introducing us to the "OOL" where we were to notice that there was no "P" in it. Smart when inviting 4 young boys for a swim. I also remember your parents having us over when my mother's aunts were visiting from Dublin. Your father took my aunt for a drive in his red sports car and it was, for Auntie Maureen, her highlight of the trip. I also then remember your parents coming for one of the "January Irish" parties my parents would throw - all knew it was likely the last party your father would attend and so it was a little sad. And "Irish". But all happy memories of your father and mother. Our whole family sends its best wishes and condolences, - Posted by: Joseph Langan (Family friend) on: Feb 05, 2018

Hi Sam, Condolences to your family. I have many happy memories of hanging out at your home (too many to mention). Your mother always made me feel a part of your family. She always made sure you had your friends surrounding you whenever you needed. She was a pleasure to be around and entertained us over drinks often. I don't ever recall her scolding us more harshly than we deserved. I hope you take comfort in knowing that both your folks are together and enjoying the view. I think a toast is appropriate, "CHEERS". Love, Kathryn - Posted by: KATHRYN STEPHEN (FRIEND) on: Feb 05, 2018

Sam, So sorry to learn about the passing of your mom. She was a very kind and caring person indeed, a trait she has passed along to you. I have many memories of great times spent on Kelvin Boulevard and was always made to feel more than welcome in your home. Your mom is together again with your dad and they are both smiling down with love and pride on the wonderful daughter they raised. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Madeleine - Posted by: Madeleine Frost (School Friend) on: Feb 04, 2018
