Glenn Leroy Keith 83, died August 22, 2020 in Norton. He was born June
1, 1937. He graduated from Morland High School in 1956 and then went to
college at Fort Hays State College graduating with a Bachelor of Science
Degree. He taught Biology in Osage City and later moved back home to
help on the family farm. He was united in marriage to Mary Ann
Richmeier September 2, 1972, at St. Peter, Kansas. Their marriage
brought five children to the family: Jodi, Jennifer, Megan, Ryan, and
Adam.
Glenn was a meticulous craftsman by nature. As an accomplished
carpenter he created a very successful business, Keith Construction. He
built many homes and completed remodeling projects throughout Graham
County and surrounding areas. He especially enjoyed making wood
projects for the grandkids and could fix anything! Glenn was a devoted
family man to his wife, children, and grandchildren. His family
well-being was always his top priority. When his children called to
check up on him, he would switch the conversation to them and the
grandkids, making sure everyone was doing OK.
Glenn’s health began to decline nine years ago. Since then he has
struggled on and off with his health while always maintaining a positive
attitude. He tackled each health situation with determination and
persistence. His devoted and loving wife, Mary Ann, was always by his
side through his health journey and is a true, loving, caregiver at
heart. His struggles eventually took him to the Andbe Home in Norton
three weeks ago. He was determined to gain enough strength and mobility
to be able to return home. The family was told multiple times by staff
at the Andbe Home that he was a true gentleman, and a great patient. As
his condition further deteriorated, he did not lose the battle; the
battle lost him!
Glenn was preceded in death by his parents, and his infant son Ryan.
Leaving to mourn his passing are his wife Mary Ann of the home;
children: Jennifer and her husband Terry Williams, of Hill City, Jodi
and her husband Justin Rohr, of Gypsum, Megan and her husband Nathan
Hart, of Bogue, and Adam Keith and his wife, Jennifer, of Larned:
grandchildren: Madison and Abby Williams, Brooke, Adyson and Caleb Rohr,
Ella, Eva, Ean and Ethan Hart, Calvin, Mylee, Maggie and Baby Boy Keith
to arrive this December.
