Dolores Keith Obituary

Dolores I. (Roder) Keith

Dolores I. "Dee" (Roder) Keith, 97, of Buffalo Grove, beloved mother to Patricia L. Keith Cantella, Linda J. Keith and Debra A. Keith; daughter of the late Joseph and Florence (nee Joutras) Roder of Joliet, Illinois; and wife of the late Eugene V. Keith, passed away on Thursday, November 14, 2024. Her final moments were spent peacefully in her home surrounded by family. She was born Feb. 5, 1927.

Dee was a fierce and loving woman – holding fast to her beliefs, defending those she loved, and always seeking to better herself. Known for her unwavering work ethic, beliefs in truth and justice, and love of her family including her six dogs, her close friends, the Chicago Cubs and 35+ years as a real estate agent, Dee will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Dee’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life not the sadness of her passing.
