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.
