DANIELLE CHRISTIANE KEEFLER Danielle Christiane, 41, died swiftly but peacefully on March 24, 2002, in Winnipeg, after challenging cancer with her unique and tenacious spirit. Our lives were enriched by Danis grace and compassion, her love and loyalty, her humour and independence of thought. Her musical and artistic gifts were shared with few yet deeply appreciated. She was just so special. Danielle was proud of her French and English heritage, her education in both languages culminated in her obtaining a Masters Degree as a Mackenzie Scholar at the London School of Economics. For the last few years, she was president of her own firm, Media Savvy Consulting Inc. in Winnipeg, following a long and distinguished career as a television journalist with C.B.C. Danielle leaves behind her beloved partner Kim Segal; her mother Kathleen Keefler-Kinch; her father Robert Keefler; her sisters, Nicole (Mark Johnson) and Michelle (Pete Spitellie) her niece and goddaughter Juliana; her stepmother Joan Keefler; her stepfather Dr. Robert Kinch; the nine stepsiblings of her large extended Keefler/Domville/Kinch family; as well as the Segals; and a host of very good friends and family. We will all miss her beyond measure. Her funeral will be held on Wednesday evening, March 27, at 7:00 p.m. at Thomson Funeral Chapels, 669 Broadway in Winnipeg. A reception will follow at 62 Evanson. Requiem Mass will be celebrated in Danis memory on Thursday, April 4 at 11:30 a.m., Church of the Ascension of Our Lord, Sherbrooke Street West and Clarke Avenue, Westmount, Montreal. Following her wishes, Danielles ashes will be brought back to the country place she grew up in and so dearly loved: Lake Ashton, QC.
