Obituary

Royanna Jean Keith entered eternal life with her Lord and Savior on November 9, 2013. Affectionately known as "Vanna" because everyone says Mom at stores and she would never look. Our family will now be much skinnier because of this great loss. Royanna was an amazing cook. She loved cooking for family, friends, holidays, and events. Monkey bread, the world's best sausage biscuits & gravy, cinnamon rolls, macaroni salad, fried okra, baked beans ,and more will never be the same.Royanna "Grandma" was the greatest zoo director for her best friend and granddaughter, Olivia Frances Wentworth,7. Daily walks with a bearded dragon, Mushu, collecting eggs from the six chicken nuggets; diet preparation for Thunder and Lightning, the pygmy goats was a daily necessity. Corn chips and Krispy Kreme doughnuts are their favorites, but so were Grandma's flowers.She was a great teacher; she passed along so many wonderful skills from cooking, sewing, painting, and crafts to her daughter and granddaughters. In the past 2 years, she officially became a "GREAT" Grandma to a new set of munchkins and she loved it so much.Most importantly, Royanna taught others to be loving, kind, and generous. She was one of the most giving souls you would ever meet.Royanna is survived by her daughter, Vanessa Underhill, and her son-in-law Jody Underhill, her granddaughters Sabra Tollefson, Allyssa Spranger, Amy Spranger, and Olivia Wentworth, her great grandchildren Judah Tollefson, Wyatt Spranger, and Lydia Tollefson, and her brothers Bob Smith, and Layne Smith. Royanna is now reunited with her husband and best friend, Bruce Alan Keith Sr. She lived her life completely devoted to Christ and her family. She will be sadly missed but loved and remembered forever.Funeral services for Mrs. Royanna Keith will be held Saturday, November 16, 2013 at 11:00 AM from Tilly Baptist Church with Rev.
