BOMBER MEMORIAL

JoANN ARDELLE BIGGERSTAFF KEOUGH ~ Class of 1954
June 23, 1937 - April 3, 2012







JoAnn, our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother was called home by our Heavenly Father on April 3, 2012. She was born in Wahoo, NE, on June 23, 1937. She was the only daughter of John W. Biggerstaff and Leitha Lorene Schiefelbein Biggerstaff.

JoAnn worked for General Electric as a secretary in her early years, JA Jones later on and was a full-time mom. She married Robert Keough on December 23, 1956, and had three children, Denise, Darla, Billy.

She loved to go fishing and camping with her family. She also made a lot of family traditions that are special today. She would make a big pot of chili, cheese and crackers and all the kids and grandkids would go trick or treating in the neighborhood. She was also famous for her shrimp cocktail at Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would get everyone together to bake Christmas cookies and decorated them.

She cherished the friendships she made with many people from school for many years. Where ever she went she loved to dress for the occasion. She was a very loving and caring woman.

JoAnn was preceded in death by her parents.

Left to cherish her memories are daughters, Denise Burford and Darla Miller; and son Bill Keough and wife Terri. Grandchildren: Ashley, Brittney, Ryan Burford, Angela Sabin, Brooklyn and Breana Keough, Stephanie Hrevnak, Michael and Robert Miller; and seven great-grandchildren.

Graveside services will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens on the bypass highway in Richland on Friday, April 6, 2012, at 2pm.
