Nara Lee

It is with a heavy heart we sadly announce the death of Nara Lee – a wonderful friend & co-worker who passed away after a brief but brave struggle with cancer.

Nara courageously set out on her own to the Yukon over a decade ago. She was a free spirit who lived her life on her terms right until her very last breath. Nara will be remembered for her love of music, international film, fine food and for her wonderful sense of humour. She was also a great friend and treated everyone with the utmost respect, kindness and compassion.

She is pre-deceased by her most beloved feline companion, Taylor who was the centre of her world and who she absolutely adored.

Nara’s Northwestel family celebrated her life with a gathering on Thursday July 25th, where she was remembered very fondly by her many friends.

We would all like to thank the compassionate nurses and health professionals at Whitehorse General Hospital for taking such exceptional care of Nara during her final days.

“Don’t weep at my grave, for I am not there, I’ve a date with a butterfly to dance in the air. I’ll be singing in the sunshine, wild and free, Playing tag with the wind, while I’m waiting for thee.”
