Tranadine Kaquitts, along with her auntie Teresa Kaquitts, was called home by the Creator on January 25, 2004. Tranadine was an active participant in the Wesley Youth Program and was a dedicated student at Nakoda College. She loved competing in rodeos and enjoyed horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and looked forward to the yearly summer camp get-together held in Rabbit Lake every summer. Tran was active in various sports, such as hockey, baseball, and volleyball. Tran will be remembered for her kindness, humour and loving spirit. She always had a smile for everyone. She had respect for our Creator and was a strong believer in our Nakoda culture. Tran was the kind of person who would make you laugh and smile, even when you were having a bad day. “She had a special way that warmed the hearts of everyone who knew her, and qualities that made her the wonderful person she was.
