Nancy Keyes Obituary
Nancy Lee Keyes, 83, of Falls passed away Sunday, March 17, 2024 at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Gary Keyes.
Born on March 7, 1941 in Kingston, she is the daughter of the late Ernest and Doris (Robson) Dymond.
Nancy was a proud 1959 graduate of West Pittston High School. She worked as a certified nurse's aide and a skilled massage therapist. Her commitment to helping others shone through in everything she did. Nancy's caring nature touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of selflessness and generosity.
Additionally, she pursued her passion for caregiving by becoming an EMT and a lifetime member of the Lake Winola Fire Department.
Nancy was a member of the Dymond Hollow United Methodist Church and found joy in spending time with members of the Silver Sneakers workout group.
She enjoyed quilting, sewing, and various crafts that showcased her creativity. One of her joys was embarking on motorcycle rides with her husband, creating cherished memories together, but her greatest joy was her family.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by daughters, Tammi Tanner and husband Brent, Debbie Brabant and husband Randy, Sandy DeVries and husband Dave; sisters, Norma Lamoreaux and husband Allan, Jan Polak and husband Eddie; brother-in-laws, Allen Keyes and Chuck Bierlein; sisters-in-laws, Jane Keyes and Jeri Keyes; 13 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews and the very best friends.
