Patricia Carol Hansen Keeter passed away Sunday, October 29th, at the age of 81. Carol is survived by her 2 children: Kimberly Stoner and husband Tim of Boerne; Jim Keeter, Jr. and wife Kim of Fredericksburg; brother Michael Hansen and wife Rita of San Antonio; sister-in-law Linda Masters of San Antonio; sister-in-law JoAnn Hansen of San Antonio and her grandchildren, Ashley Keeter, Mackenzie Keeter, James Edwin Keeter, III (Tres), Patrick Stoner and Andrew Stoner.

Carol was born in San Antonio, Texas, on August 14th, 1936, to Lawrence G. and Helen B. Hansen. She graduated in 1954 from Thomas Jefferson High School where she was a Second Lieutenant and Historian in the Lassos, Senior Representative to the Student Council, Historian for the MJR club and member of the Scribblers and Tri Hi Y clubs. Carol also played Annie Oakley in the Senior Frolic musical Annie Get Your Gun.
Carol met her husband Jim while attending San Antonio College. They married at Grace Lutheran Church in 1955. Carol was active in the PTA at her children's schools. As they got older, she looked for another way to give back to the community and became a member of the San Antonio Junior Forum. She formed many lifelong friendships in Forum and was proud of the many service projects they sponsored. From 1973 – 1974 she was the Woman of the Year, an honor voted on by the membership and bestowed upon a member who goes above and beyond to exemplify what Junior Forum represents. In 1976 – 1977, she was President, and was made an Honorary Life Member, one of Junior Forum's highest honors in 1981.
She enjoyed meeting Jim's clients and made many life-long friends among them. When the ASLA held their annual conference in San Antonio, Carol helped with the planning of the social events, making sure everyone felt welcome and at home. Every Christmas saw rum cakes baked for family and friends alike. Her warmth, kindness and generosity will be missed.
