Dorothy Keim Obituary
Dorothy Keim, age 74 years, 11 months, and 4 days of Garnett, Kansas passed away on Friday, October 4, 2024 at her home.
Dorothy Yoder was born on October 31, 1949 in Thomas, Oklahoma to Toby D. and Barbara (Beachy) Yoder. Dorothy's family moved to Garnett when she was seven years old. On November 12, 1970, Dorothy was united in marriage to Ivan Keim in Garnett. They were blessed with 53 years of marriage and four children. Dorothy was a member of the Old Order Amish Church.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Ivan, and children, Laura Yoder and Clayton of Rock Springs, Wisconsin, Leander Keim and Mary Anna of Garnett, Leslie Keim and Suetta of Norwood, Missouri, and Elizabeth Keim of the home; 22 grandchildren; five great grandchildren; one sister, Verna Keim and Larry; one brother, David T. Yoder; and one brother in law, Andy Miller, all of Garnett.
She was preceded in death by her parents; one infant grandson, Reuben Joel Keim; two sisters, and one brother in law, Irene and Earl Wingard, and Susan Miller, and sister in law, Sylvia Yoder.
Dorothy was a loving mom and grandmother. She loved the dairy and doing field work. Mom was happiest when she was helping others. Mom survived three different types of cancer and in spite of her limited abilities, her grandchildren could get her to smile and chuckle. Her challenges with her health never caused her to complain about her situation.
