Jan. 10, 1911-March 4, 2002

Funeral services were held Friday, March 8, at the Montgomery-Viets Chapel, with Pastor Paul Wiand officiating. Several instrumental songs were played. Burial was in the Riverview-Sweaney Cemetery under the direction of the Montgomery-Viets Funeral Home of Buffalo. In lieu of flowers, contributions were made to the Riverview-Sweaney Cemetery Fund.

Escorts were Denny Howser, Frank Keith, John Kennedy, Shelby Lane, Art Meyers and Leon Thomas.

Inez Keith, 81, was born Jan. 10, 1911, near Long Lane, the daughter of Mella Jane Scott and William Robert Hackler. She died March 4, 2002, at the Infinia Nursing Home in Oswego, Kan.

She was united in marriage with Jesse F. Keith, Buffalo.

She was a homemaker and a member of the Buffalo Church of God Seventh Day, where at various times she served as a Sabbath school teacher, song leader, and secretary-treasurer. She was a long time founding member of the Riverview Ladies Aid, which met for several decades and quilted. She was secretary-treasurer for the Riverview-Sweaney Cemetery for several years. She moved to Oswego, Kan., in July 1992.

She attended summer sessions at Southwest Missouri State University, taught in rural Dallas County Schools, and often shared memories of her students. She wrote an occasional column for a weekly county paper called "Just Thinking" in which she commented on current topics or about the neighbors whom she loved. She valued reading and tirelessly read aloud to her children when they were young, even when she was tired. She valued graduate education at a time when it was not common place.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her husband.

Survivors include one son, Dickie Keith, Oswego, Kan.; one daughter, Pat Keith, Ames, Iowa; a sister, Mildred Ragsdale, Buffalo; and a granddaughter, Sara Keith, Oswego; a daughter-in-law, Jeannie Keith, Oswego, Kan.; and a son-in-law, Arthur Meyers, Ames, Iowa.

Blessings

God gives to each of us a cup of blessings every morning. One of these is sight. Through my kitchen window I can look across a pasture to a mass of tall trees on a hill. Boldly, silently, they speak of God as the light of each new day dawns.

Another blessing is faith. With it we can move mountains. We know some days will seem bad, but may we be able to look back and say, "They were good."

The next blessing is kindness. It is ours to give and also to receive.

There are many blessings remaining in my cup as the end of the day draws near. When night comes, we leave all to God's care, knowing that He watches when we cannot.
