It is with profound sorrow that the family of Leah Faye Keeper announce her passing, a loss felt deeply by her loved ones, community, and all who knew her.
Leah, aged 32, was born in Winnipeg and a registered band member of the Little Grand Rapids First Nation. She grew up in Winnipeg and has ties to the Sagkeeng First Nation. She was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, niece, aunt, grandchild and friend whose life was filled with moments of warmth, laughter, and connection.

She leaves to mourn: her grandfather Colin Keeper; aunts, Colleen and Delilah Keeper; parents, Beverley Courchene and Angus Genaille; brothers, Darren, Trevor (Casey), Noel (Susie), Dolph, AJ; her sister Betsy; daughters, Briseis and Halo; numerous family in Little Grand and Sagkeeng; as well as friends near and far.
Leah was known by her family as a vibrant and outgoing spirit - someone who could light up a room with her presence and her distinctive, joyful laugh. She had a natural ability to make friends and connect with others, and she was deeply loved by those closest to her.
As a proud mother of two children, Leah carried a deep love for her family. She completed her high school education and went on to become a health care aide and health unit clerk reflecting her caring nature and desire to help others.
In the years leading up to her passing, she spent time reconnecting with her culture and participating in traditional practices with family in Sagkeeng, working toward healing and wellness.
Leah will be remembered for her kindness, her laughter, and the love she gave so freely. Her memory lives on in her children, her family, and her community.
She is deeply missed and will never be forgotten.
