Eleanor Marie Keys

Eleanor Marie Keys (nee Jahnke) passed away in New York on Monday, Jan. 26,
2004, at the age of 80 after a courageous two year battle with colon/liver
cancer. She was born in Chicago, Ill., at the Norwegian American Hospital. She
is survived by her brother, Walter, and his wife Gerry, who still reside at the
original Jahnke residence where Eleanor grew up. Brothers Arthur and George
predeceased her. Eleanor attended a Lutheran Parochial School and later married
Lynn O. Keys, M.D. She will be sadly missed by her daughter Harmony and husband,
Martin H. Savitz, M.D., and son Lynn Evans Keys and wife, Deborah; together with
grandchildren Sean and Ariel Savitz; and Chantel, Jessica, Matthew and Alexandra
Keys.

Eleanor worked as a medical transcriber for 20 years at the Woodland Clinic
Medical Group and retired in June 1996. She was active with Family Radio of
Oakland, traveling around the world as a missionary distributing Bibles and
Bible Tracks. Her long-standing affiliation with St. Paul's Lutheran Church
enabled her to serve in the past as their President, Vice President and
Secretary. She taught Sunday School to dozens of 3-5 year olds, many of whom
years later still kept in contact with her. Eleanor enjoyed singing in the
church choir, as well as, with the Woodland Chamber Singers. She was awarded the
Woodland Library Literacy Program title "Tutor of the Year," enjoyed Shakespeare
Club and volunteered for WMH Pink Ladies Auxiliary. Eleanor always wore a smile
on her face; the joy and enthusiasm she had for life touched everyone fortunate
enough to be blessed by knowing her.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 27, 2004, at 11 a.m. at St.
Paul's Lutheran Church in Woodland. Donations may be made to St. Paul's Lutheran
Church Mission Program, 625 W. Gibson Road, Woodland, 95695; or to Meals on
Wheels in Woodland.
