Seeing this almost 1 1/2 years later but still wanted to offer my sympathy to the family. What a beautiful mom you were blessed to have. She was loved by many at the high school. God bless her soul.

Dear Keough Family, she was by far the best teacher I ever had at SHS. Infact she helped me make my wedding gown after I graduated! She taught me so much about cooking, sewing and life, the kids of today don´t get that anymore! You were a lovely friend, teacher and neighbor! RIP Mrs Keough.

I am so sorry for your loss dear Keough family! You had a truly great soul for your mother! All my young memories of Mrs. Keough are of a warm and loving smile that set all around her at ease. A woman with great energy that emmanted yo all around her. And At Christmas time we always make Mrs. Keough Chocolate covered Toffee! May the Lord comfort you all during this time and beyond.
Much love, Cindy Downes Senor
