Patsy Jean Keep earned her wings Oct. 16, 2018. She was born Dec. 20, 1936, in Margie, Minn. Patsy grew up in Littlefork on the family farm, logging and milking cows.

In 1955, she married Dennis Keep and moved to Chehalis, Wash., in 1967, with their three daughters. 

Patsy worked at Simons and National Canaries until retiring in 1997. After retirement, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and most of all, watching her eight grandchildren in all of their activities, sports and cow shows. Then came along 12 great-grandchildren, and she would enjoy attending all of their activities as well.

Patsy is survived by her three daughters, Bev (Ron) Holt, Kathy (Gregg) Johnson of Chehalis and Carolyn (Mike) Hopman of Onalaska; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Dennis; parents, Harold and Muriel Douglass; brother, Mervin; and sisters, Lila and Ethel Kae.
