Keeping you and your family lifted up in prayer! My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time! May the Lord give you the comfort, strength and peace you need to get through this difficult time! Love you!

Mrs. Keith was my A.P. US History teacher at Grosse Pointe North for the `93/`94 school year. I met some of my lifelong friends in that class. I shared the sad news of her passing with them recently and all of us shared fond memories of her. One asked if anyone had a horn to honk on her honor (a trademark in her classroom) and quoted her memorable, "Get on the bus!" line. My sincere condolences to her husband and family. She lived a long and impactful life.

This makes Me so sad. The many times We shared every week when I did Her hair. She made Me read War and Peace and then quizzed me weekly.lol ..Her final exam to Her advanced students where for them to question Her. What a vault. She and Spurgon were the couple people could only aspire to be ,Love, friendship and respect. I will truly Miss Our Christmas cards, catch up's and Her loverly soul.

To the Keith family, Cecil was one of the most memorable teachers that Grosse Pointe North High School has ever known. She was my friend, confidant, and mentor for many years. Because of Cecil, I was hired as a teacher and followed in her footsteps as a Department Chair of Social Studies for 17 years. I still hear her name on occasion, as I frequently run into past students of hers. She was truly a lovely, talented, and gifted woman----we will NEVER forget Cecil Keith in Grosse Pointe,...

My deepest condolences for your loss. May happy memories be of comfort to you.

What a loss to everyone who knew her, Cecil always had a smile and kind words and was the epitome of a Southern Lady. Condolences to her wonderful family that meant so much to her.

Hello Kathleen, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Wishing the entire family comfort, strength and love during this time. May God continue to fill your hearts with joy and peace.

Honey always had a smile to share and I really enjoyed seeing her when I visited and always made me feel special. She especially loved her family and was always so proud of each one of you. The emptiness you all feel is deep, raw and real but I have not doubt she is in heaven with God earning her eternal reward. May the peace of Jesus Christ comfort you all during this time. Ellen, Paul, Christopher, Matthew and Joanna
