The septuagenarian who died Thursday September 14, on the RD 124 in Condezaygues, following having apparently lost control of her vehicle, was well known in the Pays de Lauzun and beyond. Viviane Keuten was returning from a back-to-school meeting at the Fumel arts school when the tragedy occurred. It was in this establishment that she taught visual arts. In Lauzun, where she had lived alone for more than a year, she had just organized an exhibition at the beginning of the month, which is still being hung at the Petit Château.

Elected official and visual artist

Before that, she was elected to the Municipal Council of Ségalas then councilor of the commune of Saint-Colomb-de-Lauzun under the mandate of Luc Macouin where she leaves only good memories. “She was in good health. Nothing predicted his death. In the town, it froze everyone,” says Nicolas Gris, mayor of the village since 2020. “Viviane was very committed to her town. Recently, she proposed a theater evening and before that, she was a volunteer with the local troupe,” continues the elected official.

The visual artist even shared her talents with former members of Baladins en Agenais, whom she had met at Monclar, then at the Théâtre des 13 vents, in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, where she enjoyed coming to see the programming. “Recently, she made the sets for our latest creation,” says Jean-Paul Delvor, of the Dalva company. She is the one who made the tutu that I wear on stage and the hanging clouds in “Ce soir, c’est show”. » Jean-Paul Delvor and Catherine Delourtet knew her through mutual friends, Bernard Rouyre, guitarist, and Virginia Fix, actress. “He was a funny, passionate and exciting person. To me, she was like part of the family. »

According to our information, the victim had followed his parents who had chosen to settle in Pays de Lauzun, more than thirty years ago. “Beyond our professional relationships, he was a nice person, an endearing character,” says Nicolas Gris, who learned the news this Friday.

Did she feel unwell in her car? The gendarmerie investigation will have to determine the circumstances of this tragedy which brings to 22 the number of people killed on the road since the start of the year.
