Marie was a patient, kind, loving and compassionate mother to Deborah S. Lawson (Buddy), Kenneth D. Keith, Jr. (Tammy) and Kelley J.

She leaves behind three siblings, Sandy Schoaf (Mark), Mike Rocha (Brenda) and Ruthie Cook (Gary) and many nieces and nephews whom she adored. Marie attended St. Agnes elementary and then Rosedale Highschool. She was very proud of her Rosedalian roots. She worked in Respiratory Therapy at Bethany Medical Center until her retirement in 1984.

(Dino) Keith, her husband, Irvine (Jack) Lange, brothers, Jimmy, Johnny, Carl and Bobby and sister, Sue. She enjoyed reading the daily Catholic missal and painting everything she could find outside from mailboxes to birdhouses to the furniture sitting on her porch. Marie cherished spending time with her family and spoiling all the grandkids. She never missed a Chiefs, Royals or KU game on TV. Marie loved spending time at her lake house in the Ozarks. Shopping was her most favorite thing to do. It was important for her to know that everyone around her was taken care of. She cared greatly for every living thing. Marie had a great sense of humor. Her beautiful laugh will be missed by all. Marie leaves us with many many beautiful memories but a void in our hearts to never be filled. Rest easy, Mama. Breathe easy, Grandma. We’ve got it from here. Love you More! Friends and family are invited to gather for a visitation on November 11, 2024, at 10am at Maple Hill Funeral Home. A memorial service celebrating her life will follow. Marie will be laid to rest at Maple Hill Cemetery.
