Julia Elizabeth "Liz" Keith 

September 8, 1959 - August 4, 2024 

Julia Elizabeth “Liz” Keith, born on September 8, 1959, in Palm Springs, California, passed away after a courageous battle with glioblastoma on August 4, 2024. Liz’s life was a testament to her resilience, passion, and dedication to her family and community.

Liz spent her early years in 29 Palms, where her father served in the US Marine Corps. It was in Yuma, Arizona, that Liz discovered her love for horses and the French horn. In 1970, her family moved to MCAS Cherry Point, where she continued to nurture her passion for horses, especially her beloved horse, Mint Julep.

A bright student, Liz graduated from Havelock High School in 1977 as a member of the National Honor Society. She went on to attend Texas A&M University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in 1983, followed by a master’s degree. Liz’s career took her to Arlington, where she worked diligently before marrying at Halff Farm and eventually moving to Georgetown, Texas.

In Georgetown, Liz and her family bought a farm. Here, she raised three wonderful children: Jack, Ben, and Tori. Liz’s professional journey continued at Scott and White, where she worked as a dietician, and later with the county’s WIC program, making a significant impact on the lives of many.

In 2009, Liz reconnected with high school friend Ben, and their bond grew stronger even as she faced her diagnosis in October 2016. Liz was a true warrior, facing her challenges with grace and strength.

Liz Keith’s legacy lives on through her children, her contributions to her community, and the countless lives she touched. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
