She worked at the Assiniboine Centre for 13 years as a Health Care Aide. She was a very hard worker, who always went above and beyond for her patients and coworkers. She loved her work and was very proud of what she did. She loved to draw, watch movies, read and spend time with her family and friends. She is survived by her parents Linda Campbell and Allen Keown, sister Allison Gibson, brother Bradley Keown as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
