Vivian Celia Keesey's Obituary
Vivian Celia Inscho Keesey of State College, Pa. passed into the spirit world on April 7, 2011. She was born in Starkey, NY, the first of nine children born to Kenneth and Celia (Roe) Inscho on January 16, 1920.
She attended the rural Starkey School in her younger years, graduated high school from the Starkey Seminary in Lakemont, NY, and later from the Elmira Business Institute in Elmira, NY. During WWII, she was the personal assistant to the Commander of the Sampson Air/Naval Base in Romulus, NY. Before the war's end, she transferred to the Military Holding Point in Elmira where she traveled with the Engineers to various New York locations for the war effort. After the War, she was employed by Ingersoll Rand in Painted Post from where she retired.
Before moving to State College in the mid 1980's, she lived in Painted Post and Corning, NY, where she owned and operated an apartment house for college students. She spent her life involved in community activities and dedicated to her family.
She leaves behind a son, Steven Keesey and his wife Marilyn of State College; two grandchildren, Nicholas Keesey and Kimberly (Keesey) Stodgill and her husband Timothy, all of State College; and a very special great-granddaughter, Lily Ann Stodgill. She also leaves a long-time family friend, Bruce Holvenstot of New Jersey and several nieces and nephews.
