Dorothy Anna Mae Keen ~1922-2014
Dorothy Anna Mae Keen (daughter of the late Reba Williams) passed
away peacefully on Saturday October 18, 2014 at the age of 92 after a
long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
She had been cared for by her loving and devoted daughter Jewel and granddaughters;
Shamain and Charlena for the last 4 years. Dorothy was always independent,
hardworking, stubborn, and stated right before her passing, "I love
all my family." She leaves them with her strength, love, good values,
and a lifetime of wonderful memories. A long-term resident of Bridgeton,
she was faithfully employed by Seibel/Sterns dress factory for 55 years.
Dorothy was a devoted member of Trinity A.M.E. church until her decline.
Upon her retirement, she was a care giver and crossing guard for the city
of Bridgeton. Dorothy, (Schrammy and Granny) is what we called her, never
wanted to sit still, stop working, or [taking] care of her family and
others. "Life is what you make it," is what she always said.
She also found great love and enjoyment in her yard, flowers, and animals.
Dorothy is predeceased by her husband Samuel Keen, sisters Ethel Pierce
Valentine, Vernetta Williams, and one brother, William (Billy).
She is survived by her daughter Jewel Walker; whom was her sole care giver
until her relocation of her final place of rest at Keystone Hospice in
Wyndmoor, PA; two granddaughters Shamain Morris (Stephen), Charlena Walker-Nichols
(Matt Nichols), and her beloved Great Grandson Matthew Jordan Nichols;
her step-daughter Vickie Williams Gould and her children (Mark, Paul,
Dee, and Deasia Williams); her niece Beverly Valentine Pierce and her
children (Karen Pierce-Harden, Kevin Pierce, and Michelle Pierce); her
nephew Perry Valentine (Heather) and children (Michael and Jasmin Valentine);
cousin Chester (Junie) Pierce Jr. whom she spent and enjoyed countless
hours helping out on his farm; and a host of great-nieces, nephews, and
cousins.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Poppy Eugene
Morrison for his care and efforts during Dorothy's decline and her life-long
friend and neighbor Ms. Clarise Loatman and her children for loving, caring,
and looking after Dorothy and her home. A big piece of us is gone now
and has been for quite a while. She was my heart, our heart. I called
her "My Schrammy Pie." Lena and Matthew called her Scharmmer.
But she will be remembered as *LOVE*. I Love You Ol' Girl. Rest in Peace.
You're with the Lord now, and we'll all see you soon.
