Remembering Elaine

Beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Anne “Elaine” Keith was born on
September 12, 1948 in Nashville, Tennessee to Chester Austin and Anne Mangrum. She
departed this life on January 28, 2022. Elaine studied and graduated valedictorian from
Bryan Medical Institute, where she worked as a medical assistant for many years, followed by
home health. She found her true calling after receiving her position with the state of Texas
Rehabilitation Commission and remained there until retirement.
Elaine met and married the love of her life the late Frank Keith and was blessed with two
daughters Kelly Bryant and Kristin Morgan Garza. She accepted the Lord, Jesus Christ as her
savior at an early age. She loved her family and her friends and was especially proud of her
children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Every single day of her life was about being
“Nini”. She was everybody’s Nini.

She followed close by the scripture Galatians 5:22-23. A spirit filled life is incapable of not
loving. Just as sunflower seeds grow brilliant yellow flowers, so the seeds of love grow an
attractive, irresistible life. Plant seeds of love in the power of the Spirit! In honor of my
mother and her unfailing love for everyone, please plant seeds of love to help her love
continue earth as she is in heaven. Stop and smell the flowers, love, and forgive a loved one,
and always help those in need.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Patricia Diamond and the love of her
life, her husband, Frank Keith. Her beloved daughter, Kristin Morgan Garza passed away only
a few days after her. Her legacy will live on through her daughter; Kelly Bryant, her brother
Bobby Mangrum (Pam), her sister Peggy Caldwell, her grand-children, Jason Williams, Jordan
Schneider, Kellyn Schneider, Michael Nolan, Patrick Bryant -O’Neal Elizabeth Bryant O’Neal,
Mathew Morgan, Kristian Smart, Adam and Allysa Persandi and her great grand-children,
Holland, Luke, Jaxson, Addy, and Liam and by the many she called her kids.

Testimonials

"I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks."

"The unexpected passing of my husband was a very difficult and trying time for my boys and I. I had the good fortune of having Abel walk us thru this process. Working with him was such a weight off my shoulders. He was professional, so polite and helpful. The service was beautiful – never did I feel rushed or like just another customer. They gave me the time I needed and I appreciate that so much! Also Mr. Brooks took special care of my husband as he is a fellow mason. I would highly recommend working with Abel and North Dallas Funeral Home."

"Everyone at North Dallas Funeral Home was very professional, kind, and caring, in all steps of the process from the first phone call to the service held at their location. They help to make the process as easy and comforting in my opinion as to be expected, I would recommend their service to anyone. Thank You to everyone who helped me and my family. Sincerely,"

"As soon as the call was made to Mr. Wayne Baxter all of my brothers final needs were taken care of. They walked me through what to expect the timeline and even dealt with the cemetery and the grave diggers. I was a hot mess due to my brothers sudden and unexpected passing. The experience was seamless and made it easy for my brother’s friends and family to say their last goodbyes. They even had the size to accommodate such a large group that showed up . The package deals that they offered were cost-effective and didn’t break my bank account. They included extras and accommodations that other funeral homes charged extra for. All the staff was amazing including Mr. Don Dodd . I can not thank them enough for all their help."

Dear John,

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you.

Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad.

Love, The Gillilands
