The love story of Keith and Beverly:

Bev met Keith at work where they were co-workers. After 3 months, Keith went on to work at Ohio State University. A few months later in the same year, Bev went to visit someone at St Anthony Hospital and on her way out of the hospital, she turned her head and saw Keith sitting by the entrance of the door. They walked up to each other and gave each other a hug. Bev asked "are you okay?", to which he responded, "Yes", and that he came with his aunt to the doctor. At the end of their conversation Keith asked if Bev would like to go out for an afternoon. Bev asked where he wanted to go and he responded "Bob Evans." Bev said "yes, that's okay" and from there on, the relationship developed. They got married in 1987, and with the help of the Lord, raised two wonderful children, their son, Robert and daughter, Patricia Morrison. Unfortunately, they lost their son in September 2018. This was a very emotional moment for Keith, Bev, and Patricia. Keith going home is another example that we are not here in this world forever. On his dying bed he was able to let us know he wanted to see his grandchildren and it was a pleasure that they came to see him.

Keith attended Highland Avenue Elementary in Columbus and also attended Plain City Elementary. He attended Plain City Junior High School and graduated from Jonathan Alder High School where was in the band and played football. After high school, he went into the Navy and went to Great Lakes boot camp. He was stationed at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. He went to school at Ohio State University for medical school. He worked at Grant Hospital, Mount Carmel West, and at OSU hospital in Dodd hall. He retired from OSU hospital.

Keith was a member of Mt Vernon AME Church and was an Assistant Scout leader for the church Boy Scouts. He was also President of the OSU Union. He enjoyed fishing, primitive camping, traveling, and being out on his boat.
