Grace Keeling

March 26, 1927 — January 20, 2016

Grace Ethel Haney Keeling, 88, of Paducah, Ky, passed away at 4:15 pm Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at Baptist Health Paducah. She was a pastor's wife, long time member of Eastside Holiness Church, loving Mother and homemaker.

Grace was born in Wyatt, MO on March 26, 1927 to William and Ethel Haney. She will be remembered for her Christian love and devotion to prayer and the study of God's Word. She enjoyed a good southern gospel song, Holy Bible based sermon, and Holy Spirt inspired prayer. She loved fresh home grown tomatoes and a good game of Bingo. Many thanks to the care givers over the years that made her life better including Morningside Assisted Living of Paducah, Jackson Oaks, Baptist and Lourdes Home Health, and the doctors and nurses at Baptisit Health Hospital that cared so sincerely and compassionately over the past week. Our family will never forget that care and compassion. Thanks also to all the ministers, friends, and church members that prayed over her, visited, and sent cards. May God richly bless each one of you.
