Elisabeth Keitges Obituary
Elisabeth Keitges, age 59 of Renton, WA passed at her home on March 25th, 2015 after a two year battle with breast cancer. She is survived by her husband Norman and three children Barrett (Lisa), Ben, and Sara. Also survived by her father John (Jack) Moser and siblings John Moser, Jr. (Janet) and Carolyn Seymour (Tom). She was predeceased by her mother Sara Moser.
Liz was born September 3rd, 1955 in Grants Pass, Oregon and grew up in Washington. She graduated from Washington State University then followed her Grandfather's footsteps to Indiana where she received her doctorate in Cytogenetics at Indiana University. She made her way back home to finish her post-doctorate at the University of Washington conducting genetic research and launched her successful career at the Cytogenetics Department of LabCorp/DynaCare located in Seattle, Washington. Her scientific talent and intellectual curiosity were an integral part of the laboratory's success during her 31 years of employment there.
She found her passion for travel later in life, making it to both Italy and France in addition to multiple trips to the Hawaiian Islands.
Her family will be hosting a memorial service at her home in Renton on Saturday, April 4th. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be sent to Susan G. Komen.

Liz and I first met at Mom's Weekend at WSU in April 2003. Barrett and Lisa had been dating about 9 months by that time. In the 12 years since then, we have watched them graduate, start careers, get married, become "parents" to a new puppy, buy a home and now prepare for the birth of their son. I will Liz's sense of humor, trading of book recommendations and our shared pride in all of our children. You have gone away, but you will never be gone to those who loved you.

We shared many a X group class hours at our local 24 hour fitness. Liz brought joy and laughter to these hours of exserise. She was a little quiet, she hung out in the back row...at first, but soon her sense of houmor was apparent. Close to the same age as Liz we teasted that we really did "have" to do all the things our much younger instuctors said. They were merely suggestions... It is a priveledge and honor to have know such a lovely, intellengent and fun lady. You are missed
