Terry L. Keister

In Loving Memory of Terry Keister

Terry passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, at the age of 70, surrounded by loved ones. She was predeceased by her mother, Jane Adelmann (Don), and her father, William Keister (Mary). She is survived by her loving wife, Terry Kelly; her brother, Bill Keis (Rita) of Phoenix, AZ; her stepsons, Matt (Suzanne) and Ben (Katylin) Kelly; her cherished grandchildren, Nora, Nathan, and Collin; her nephews, Scott Keyes and Justin Dale; and a circle of beloved friends.

Terry was a woman of quiet strength and gentle humor. She loved music, reading a good book, walking in nature, and caring for animals. She worked for many years as a tool and die maker, and later as a supervisor at Valeo. After retiring, she opened her business Dog Hair Everywhere and spent her final years grooming the pets entrusted to her care. She loved each and every dog and she found deep joy in caring for them.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 2:00–4:00 p.m. on November 16 at the Jamieson Ritter Memorial Lodge in Webster Park, where family and friends will gather to share stories, laughter, and love in her honor.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lollypop Farm or another animal rescue organization close to your heart.
