Wilma Mae Frazier Keaton
20 Feb 1918 - 26 July 2015
|
|
Wilma Mae Frazier Keaton was born in 1918 in
Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas, the eighth child of James and
Rebecca Grace Frazier. She passed from this life on July 26, 2015, at
her home on Jack's Fork near Eminence, Missouri. Wilma's father died
eight months after her birth and the family moved a few years later to
Missouri where Grace married Richard Price. They farmed near Crocker
raising cattle, hogs, and poultry. Wilma attended Bates and Liberty
schools near Crocker, a school in St. Louis for a brief period and one
year of Crocker High School. She assumed care of the chickens and other
poultry on the farm at a young age and did much of the garden work. The
household always included extra people, her stepfather's mother, cousins
and neighbors in need of shelter and work, so she always had much to do
and someone for company. To keep her out of mischief her
step-grandmother taught Wilma fine needlework, a skill Wilma used and
enjoyed the remainder of her life. She also enjoyed square dancing,
providing an audience for the baseball team her brother managed, and
evenings spent hunting with the brothers and friends. In 1939 Wilma met
and married Alton Keaton. They lived with his parents near Big Piney for
a time, then moved around the bend of the river to another farm where
they lived for about a year. They farmed and operated a float fishing
business with his parents. With the coming of Fort Leonard Wood and the
changes that brought, the family decided to move and, on Pearl Harbor
Day, moved to Shannon County. Shortly thereafter Alton went into the
service. Wilma then went to St. Louis where she trained at Hadley
Technical School and then began working as a riveter for Curtiss Wright.
Health issues occurred and she was unable to continue. In 1944 their
daughter Barbara was born. Upon Alton's return from service the family
returned to Shannon County. Bonnie was born in 1954. The family occupied
the Culpepper farm and later acquired property in Horse Hollow. They
farmed and later operated a canoe rental and campground. The National
Park Service acquired much of the home property in the early 70's and
they moved to the remaining property and continued the cattle operation
until that became impossible. Wilma was preceded in death by her
husband, her parents, her stepfather, six brothers and five of their
spouses, one sister and spouse, and her son-in-law. She is survived by
her daughters, one sister-in-law and numerous nieces, nephews, and
friends. Wilma was a tough, resilient and determined woman. She was
talented and resourceful. She enjoyed her flowers and her pets
tremendously. She expressed her love of Shannon County frequently, often
declaring that Shannon County was the prettiest place one could ever
find. Due, in large part, to the kindness and care of people in this
community, Wilma was able to live out her days in her home in Shannon
County for which she was very grateful.

Bessie Emiline Stacy
Keeling

|
|
Bessie Emiline Stacy was born
on June 10, 1922 in
Fredericktown, MO to Miles Lawson and Ada Florence (Sechrest) Stacy.
Bessie went to be with the Lord on August 24, 2009 at the age of 87
years, 2 months and 14 days at Birch Tree, MO. Bessie was born in Christ
when she was around the age of 9 at Trace Creek, MO near Fredericktown.
She was baptized at the age of 16 at Alley Spring, MO. Bessie was united
in marriage on April 8, 1939 to Roger Howard Keeling at Eminence, MO. To
this union six children were born, Jerald Roger (JR), Bessie Imogene,
Gary Truman, Lena Marlene, Kenney Dwaine and Robin Renee. Roger
and Bessie predominantly made their home in the Flatwoods/Ink community.
Bessie attended church on a regular basis and made it a point to be
there every time the door was open as her health permitted. Bessie loved
to sing with her family for the glory of God. Singing is something
Bessie enjoyed to her last day on this earth. I'm sure she is another
angel in the heavenly choir singing soprano with her sister Aileen
singing alto, her brother-in-law Reaber singing bass and her husband
singing tenor. She was a member of the Church of God of Prophecy at
Flatwoods for many years and actively participated in activities to help
the church, as well as the young people. Bessie enjoyed spending time
with her family, especially her grandchildren. Grandma Bessie was always
ready to tell them about the Lord. Bessie was always giving advice to
the young people, such as live for God and to pray and trust in the
Lord. Bessie was anointed with the spirit of the Holy Savior in her
life. She had a deep love for her family and would tell them to serve
the Lord. Bessie is preceded in death by her husband Roger; her
son JR; her parents Lawson and Ada Stacy; her mother and father-in-law
George and Lena Keeling; her sister Aileen; her brother Elva; six other
siblings; one grandson James Roger Keeling; one great granddaughter
Jacklyn Louise Whirrell; and a great grandson James Edward Whirrell, Jr.
Bessie is survived by her children Imogene Blake and husband Gene of
Summersville, MO, Gary Keeling and wife Kathy of Eminence, MO, Marlene
Brawley and husband Junior of Summersville, MO, Kenney Keeling and wife
Tammy of Eminence, MO, and Robin Porter and husband Reese of Eminence,
MO and daughter-in-law Rosemary Keeling of Summersville, MO. She is
survived by her brother Russell and wife Berna Dean Stacy of Salem, MO;
one half-sister Alice Stacy of Nixa, MO; grandchildren Jerald, Adina,
Jeff, Therisa, Brenda, Kandra, Darrin and Kimberly, Stacey and Anita,
Kristen, Angela and Nathan, Amanda and Daphne, Roger and Rayni. She is
also survived by 35 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren. Bessie loved to make fried pies, cook and
sew. She was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Bessie taught
Sunday School for many years leading the children in Gleaner Service.
She was a loyal disciple for Christ. Bessie lived her life as an example
of how to live for the Lord. Bessie remained loyal to her love for Roger
throughout the many years of death that separated them and they are now
where they belong, together in Heaven. Bessie will be missed deeply, but
her love and legacy will live on through her children and grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Thursday, August 27, 2009 at the Flatwoods
Church of God of Prophecy in Eminence, MO with Rev. Carl Younger and Don
Keeling officiating. Interment was in Flatwoods Cemetery in Eminence, MO
under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home.

and Ada Stacy July 10, 1920, at Fredericktown, Mo. She

Mo., at the age of 64 years, 4 months. Aileen was united in marriage to Reaber
Eual Keeling Oct. 14, 1939 at Eminence, Mo. To this union were born one
son and two daughters. Aileen was preceded in death by her parents, two
brothers and four sisters. She leaves to mourn her husband, Reaber, of the home;
one son, Don, of Granite City, IL.; two daughters, Estalee Smith of Granite

Jessie; two brothers, Elva Stacy and Russell Stacy, both of Salem, Mo.; two
sisters, Bessie Keeling of Eminence, Mo., and Alice Young of Salem, Mo.; and a
host of relatives and friends. Aileen accepted Christ as her personal Savior at
the age of 11 and became a member of the Church of God at the age of 14.
Most of her girlhood was spent in traveling from town to town in south central
Mo. After her marriage, most of her life was spent in the Flatwoods and Flatrock
communities. Aileen started singing with her sister, Bessie when she was six
years old and wherever they were, people were blessed by their singing. Her
whole life has been spent in singing and working for God. First with her
father, who was a minister and took the girls all over the country where he
preached and they sang and God wonderfully blessed in their services. After the
two sisters married Keeling brothers, they have sung all over this country and
especially around Flatwoods, as the Keeling Quartet. Aileen continued singing
and working for God until her failing health confined her at home. She has been
greatly missed in the church since her long illness but God held her hand all
the way. Not many hours before her parting breath, she told her sister that she
could see the angels. Even though she will be sadly missed by her loved ones,
we believe that when we walk through the gates of Glory, she will be standing
there to welcome us
in.

ROGER HOWARD KEELING
20 Mar 1918 - 10 Nov 1978
|
|
Roger 'Howard' Keeling was born
March 20, 1918 at Flatwoods in Shannon County, Mo.
to George and Lena Keeling. And departed this life November 10,
1978 at his home, near Ink, Mo. At the age of 60 years, 7 months,
and 21 days. He was united in marriage to Bessie Emiline
Stacy, April 8, 1939 at Eminence, Mo. To this union was born 6 children,
Jerald Roger, Bessie Imogene, Gary Truman, Lena Marlene, Kenney Dewayne and
Robin Renee. He leaves to mourn him: his wife Bessie, his three
sons, J.R., Gary and Kenney all of Eminence, three daughters, Imogene Blake and
Marlene Brawley of Summersville, and Robin of the home. Four grandsons and
six granddaughters. Four brothers Reaber of Summersville, Rual and Radford
of Eminence, Roland of St. Louis and one sister Thela of Poplar Bluff. In
addition to these he leaves a host of relatives, in-laws, and friends.
Roger was preceded in death by his father, mother and one infant grandson James
Roger Keeling. Roger was never a member of any church but left behind the
testimony that he knew the Lord and was ready to meet his maker. There are
many outstanding things to be said about Roger, but perhaps the things he will
be remembered most for will be his many years of singing the good old gospel
songs and how ready he always was to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
We will miss him very much, and will picture him in our hearts and minds singing
the blessings of God in the heavenly choir. Our loss in Heavens gain.
