Lorna Louise Keras

Arrangements under the direction of Henderson's Langley Funeral Home, Langley, BC.

KERAS, Lorna
December 20, 1926 – April 22, 2017
It is with profound sadness that we mourn the
loss of our Family Matriarch, Lorna Louise
Keras (nee Lawrence). When Lorna was a
young girl walking home with a friend in her
hometown of Hope, BC, they saw a group of
little boys splashing away in a puddle. Lorna's
friend said, "Look at those naughty little
boys!" and Lorna said, "They're so cute, I'm
going to have 6 of them!" And she did;
complemented nicely by 2 beautiful
daughters. Lorna was predeceased by her
loving husband Albert Keras (1982). Lorna
adored, and was adored by, her 8 children, 27
grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and all
of their partners. She was also a loving sister,
aunt, cousin and friend. Her generosity,
grace, faith and kindness were felt by many
people around the world. No matter what life
tossed her way she handled each situation
with love, patience, and understanding. Lorna
had the biggest twinkle in her eyes,
particularly when she smiled. Her laughter
was infectious and her wisdom was vast.
Even when her health was ailing she
continued to give all she had to others in her
faith and devotion. Go in peace, Lorna,
comforted in your journey by your husband,
sons, and son-in-law before you. Prayer
