Josephine Keck

Jo Keck is remembered by her family after losing her battle with cancer on December 11, 2014. Jo lived a very full 84 years as a loving and devoted wife, mother, community volunteer, an adopted daughter of Norway, and a dedicated church member. Jo joins her late husband, Victor, who died in 2010, and whom she worshiped and adored for over sixty years of marriage. She is survived by her children, William, Diane, Robert, Michael, and Susan; her nine grandchildren; and her brother Joseph. Jo is best remembered as the fun-loving, and easy-smiling, drive-up teller at Bank of America on Casino Road. She worked there until she was 79 years old. Until a few months ago, she was a regular volunteer at Providence Hospital and the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank. She not only volunteered her time, she brought 100 pounds of potatoes each week for many years. As an adopted daughter of Norway, she often helped with fund raisers, was a regular waitress at their monthly pancake breakfast, and maintained all the flowers around the Normana Lodge. When not volunteering around town, Jo knitted and donated afghans for the folks at the retirement home. Jo was an active member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. A memorial mass is planned for 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, with a small reception to follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to suggest you give a donation to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, or any food bank of your choice. Jo and her husband were regular supporters of the food bank for many years.
