Grace Keith

Emma Grace Keith, a beloved resident of Rome, GA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 15th, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on Sunday, July 27th, 1941, Grace lived a life dedicated to faith, family, and her passionate work in broadcasting.

Grace was the cherished co-host and co-founder of the NTM broadcasting station, where she found her true calling. Her work was not just a career but a ministry through which she shared the gospel and touched countless lives. A strong Christian woman, Grace was deeply committed to spreading God’s word through her radio broadcasts, always guided by her favorite Bible verse, Psalm 23. Her love for meeting new people and sharing her faith was a testament to her generous spirit and unwavering devotion.

Grace's life was filled with joy in the simple pleasures: sewing, cooking, and caring for others. She was known for her warm hospitality and her nurturing nature, traits that endeared her to everyone she met. Her love for her family was boundless, and she was a guiding light to her grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

She is survived by her brother, Claude Weatherby of Silver Creek, and her sister, Inez Woods of Cave Springs. She leaves behind a legacy of love and faith in the lives of her grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many cherished family members.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Olen Keith; her parents, John and Cornelia Weatherby; her son, Anthony Keith; her brother, Donald Weatherby of Lindale; and her stepdaughter, Anita VanPut.

Grace's legacy of faith, love, and service will continue to inspire all who were blessed to have known her.
