Mary Jane "MJ" Keister

Her passing was sudden, totally unexpected and way too soon. Many thanks to the Sylvania Township rescue team and the emergency facility at St Anne's hospital for their valiant efforts.

Born on August 21, 1953, she was the only child of Robert and Elsie (Grudzynski) Myneder, who both predeceased her.

MJ was employed by the United States Postal Service, USPS, for 30 years. She met the love of her life, Tom, at work and they married on November 11, 1993.

They would have celebrated their twenty fifth wedding anniversary in November this year.

Her main hobby was her beloved dog, Max, an adorable mini Aussiedoodle. Their three or four walks daily (rain or shine) through the neighborhood were a normal sight.  Frequent long trek at the area Metroparks, especially Wildwood, with Tom at their side, were regular events. Playing "house ball", romps in the back yard, working out on his training equipment and playing "find the bone" filled her days with pleasure.

Tom and Max will fondly remember her and be lovingly thankful for their precious time together. MJ was a truly strong and wonderful person who fought and won a courageous battle with ovarian cancer recently.

She had a wry sense of humor and people always sought her out to listen to their problems and offer counsel.

She is survived by husband, soul mate and best friend Tom; Tom's children, Cara of Hawaii and Robert of Florida. Also surviving are aunts, cousins, Tom's brothers and sisters in law and his many nieces and nephews.

At MJ's request, cremation shall occur and there will be no visitation or services.

Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of the donor's choice.
