Keenan, Jr. She was a member of St. James Lutheran Church in Graniteville, S.C. She was a member of the Ladies’ Auxilliary VFW Post 10601 in Aiken. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister. She was fondly known as “Mama” and a friend to all. Her family stated that her cooking and baking skills were just out of this world. She especially enjoyed cooking Christmas Goodies and let’s not forget how much she enjoyed decorating her front yard with all those inflatables. Why people would ride by her house every year just to see her decorations. She was also an avid flower gardener. She enjoyed vacationing at the Beach and in the Mountains. She had a bubbly personality and always greeted you with a smile. Yes, a lady of her caliber shall be greatly missed by her family and all whose lives she touched during the 81 years that God granted her on this earth; however, death cannot destroy precious memories, and she shall live on forever in the hearts of her family and many friends. The family will receive friends at the funeral home this Sunday evening, September 11th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
