Louise Keys
Lillian Louise Morton Keys, 81, of Chattanooga, TN, entered into the arms of her Heavenly Father on April 24, 2021, while surrounded by her family.
Louise was best known as a loving wife, devoted mother, and beautiful, adoring grandmother and great grandmother. She was born on November 24, 1936, and raised in Evensville, Tennessee. She is preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur and Dixie Morton, and two sisters, Patricia Morton Randolph and Vivian Morton Smith.
She graduated from Tennessee Technological University where she met and married her college sweetheart, Bernard Keys. They shared a devoted marriage for 62 years. Louise took great joy in teaching children of all ages. She was a faithful member of the Church of Christ and recently attended Red Bank Church of Christ.
