EILEEN ELIZABETH KEYSER

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

• Dear Brenda, Shelley,Kim and Families, I am not sure for whatever reason as to why your mom suddenly "popped" into my mind this morning, but I followed my "gut" instinct and did a name search discovering she recently passed away. Please accept my heartfelt and sincerest condolences for your loss. Eileen was my Accounts Payable supervisor when I first started at Kalium (back before "Mosaic" was still known as "Kalium") over at the Bank of Canada building, here in Regina. A very comfortable and easy rapport soon developed between her and I. She was so easy to talk to...it was like "coming home", so to speak. It started off as her having three daughters and I myself, was from a family of three daughters. She was a dear sweet lady who was fiercely loyal, very fair, kind and patient. This I remember, first and foremost about her. Eileen was well respected by both upper management and co-workers alike. Always immaculately dressed in a crisp royal blue suit, hair neatly coiffed, she always looked for the goodness in everyone. She was always pleasant and a joy to be with. You wanted to do everything she asked you to do, without pause or hesitation. Occasionally she would take on Gordon Taylor and Harvey Schmidt (out at the plant) if she thought they were unfairly "picking on" one of her clerks, but she always remained a lady! She could certainly get her point across without ever having to raise her voice. I sorely missed her when she retired. The examples she unknowingly set while we worked together so many years ago (approx. 29 yrs.)left an indelible mark on my life. Her wit and wisdom have certainly played a far-reaching part in my life. And even though we did not remain in touch with each other, the lessons she so silently conveyed back then, have remained with me to this day. Besides my own parents and family, I would like to think that Eileen would be very proud of the person I am today. She was that important in my life. Her warmth, individuality, classiness, spunk, "funness" and sense of fair play is how I will always fondly and frequently continue to remember her. She always spoke highly and regularly about you girls, your families and how very proud that she and Russ were of all of you. Both of your parents were such genuinely nice people. The world is definitely a little sadder without people like them in it, anymore. I will always appreciate and treasure the time I got to spend with your mom. My life and world were certainly made better because she was a part of it, even if it was for just a "blink in time" so many years ago. I profoundly share your loss. Be well all of you. I will never forget your mom and my dear friend Eileen Keyser. With Our (and my) Sincerest and Deepest Condolences, Susan(Sue), Rick, Bryn and Corey Hadubiak Regina, Sask. - Posted by: Susan, Rick, Bryn and Corey Hadubiak (Friend from Kalium) on: Dec 06, 2014
