George Henry Keefer , born on August 8, 1934, passed away leaving behind a legacy of hard work, family devotion, and a lifelong commitment to his faith in God.

A skilled carpenter by trade, George dedicated his professional life to his craft. He worked at Marietta Manufacturing Co. and later retired from the Maintenance Department of Mason County Schools. When he wasn't working, George found great joy in the outdoors, spending his time farming and camping.

George is survived by his wife, Virginia; his son, George Junior Keefer (Sandy); his daughter-in-law, Brenda Thompson Keefer; and his two sisters, Betty Hartley and Charlotte Hughes (Junior). His memory will be cherished by his loving granddaughters: Kristin Keefer Blake (Eric), Nicole Keefer Matheny (Grant), Katrina Keefer Greenlee (Robbie), and Chelsea Keefer Bowers (Dave). He was also a proud great-grandfather to Ethan Blake, Aubree Greenlee, Lennon Matheny, Myla Bowers, Rayah Bowers, and Wells Matheny.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Everett and Verdie (Thomas) Keefer, and his beloved son, Gary Ray Keefer, who passed away on June 14, 2018.
