Priscilla F. Keefer, 90, of Big Cove Tannery, PA, passed away Monday, October 5, 2026, at the Fulton County Medical Center Long Term Care Unit.
Priscilla was born on May 19, 1936 in Maryland, the daughter of the late Jacob E. and Goldie L. (Weller) Shoemaker. She was the widow of George B. Keefer, who she married on August 14, 1955. He preceded her in death in December of 1984.
She attended the Laurel Ridge Christian Church in Big Cove Tannery, PA. She had a deep love for animals, shooting pool, playing cards, flowers and enjoyed gardening, canning, completing word search puzzles, and watching Wheel of Fortune. She loved telling jokes, always bringing a smile and laughter to those around her. In her younger years, she enjoyed making quilts alongside her mother.
