Suddenly, on Thursday, February 17, 2011, Lucille Kim Archer passed away. She was predeceased by her husband Gerry and her brother Darrel. Kim is survived by her daughter Stacey, her parents Frank and Sara Dueck, her sister Pat (Mark) Loewen, niece Jaimie (Barry) Penner and nephew Josh (Candace) Loewen and their children Tia and Sydney, and nephews Jordan and Jesse. Kim was born in Fort William, Ontario, in 1963. Her family moved to Winnipeg in 1973, and she later attended Oak Park High School. Following graduation, she worked at Mercury Press then was hired by ISIS Canada at the University of Manitoba. Kim started there as an accountant, then moved upward through the ranks as an office assistant, manager and finally managing director. Kim married the love of her life in 1981. She and Gerry lived a good and rich life, enjoying one another’s companionship and sharing a deep love. They spent many fun and interesting years together, going on long motorcycle trips to places such as California, Banff, Vancouver, and Sturgis. When Stacey came along the three of them focused on what was most important in life: being with family and creating a warm and comfortable home together. When Gerry passed away in December 2009, a heartbroken Kim focused her life on her beloved daughter. They spent the past year traveling and spending much quality time together, and she enjoyed watching Stacey flourish and develop her creative skills. Kim spent more time on her hobbies, which included gardening, sitting on her deck, reading and enjoying nature. Perhaps her most enduring legacy that close friends will always hold in their hearts is that Kim always strove to live life the way she wanted to live, making decisions to do things in way that made sense to her, a free and caring spirit. Kim, we will miss you. A funeral service to celebrate the life of this vibrant and caring woman will be held Wednesday, February 23, 2011, at 11:00 am at Fort Garry Evangelical Mennonite Church, 602 Pasadena Avenue in Winnipeg. After the service, there will be a gathering and refreshments in the church basement. Interment will follow at Heritage Cemetery on Loewen Boulevard and Hespeler Street North in Steinbach.
