Leone T. Keiter, retired loan officer
Leone T. Keiter, 91, of Salisbury, Md., passed away Monday, June 3, 2019, at Salisbury Nursing Home. Born in Philadelphia, Pa., she was the daughter of the late William E. Taber and Lillian Maiter Taber.
Mrs. Keiter worked in cancer research before her children were born at Hanaman Hospital in Philadelphia, and later worked as a loan officer at Industrial Valley Bank when women were not accepted. After her children graduated she went into sales; jewelry was her favorite. She loved gardening, hunting for antiques, reading and playing the piano, but her greatest love was her dog, Honey Bear.
She is survived by her daughter, Roxane Gabrielson (Stefan) of Whitehaven, Pa.; son, Jeffrey Kurtz (Linda) of Greenwood; two grandchildren, Nicole Kurtz and Jessica Snow; two great-grandchildren, James Snow Jr. and Kohen Kurtz; sister Joan T. Symcak (Frank); brother, William Taber; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, John K. Keiter.
A private family service will be held at a later date in Montgomery County, Pa.
