Donald William Keiser, age 87, passed away on January 24, 2022 at his home in Gregory, Michigan. He was born on February 21, 1934 in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Walter and Viola (Kelch) Keiser.

Donald served in the Marine Corps Reserves during the Korean War. He had lived in the Gregory area for 80 years. He worked as a tool and die maker at Rockwell in Chelsea, Michigan for 30 years. He was on the Unadilla Fire Department, and he was the Unadilla Township Supervisor for two terms.

He was a farmer at heart, and he raised and sold hay for many years. He was an avid John Deere man. Only green tractors would do.

Donald enjoyed being with his family and keeping up with all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He married Wilma Jean (Latimer) on May 7, 1955, and she survives him. Also surviving are his children: Aldonna (Jim) Raciborski, Jeanne Keiser (Robert “Bob” Hoffman) (deceased), Linda (deceased) Dick Zenz, and Donald (Lorraine) Keiser; grandchildren: Amanda McAlister, Joshua and Sarah McAlister, Zac and Megan Zenz, Marianne and John Walters, and Emily, Erin, and Hayden Keiser; great-grandchildren: Lucas, Zoey, and Ryan Zenz, Alexis Walters, and Mason McAlister. He also leaves behind one brother, Robert “Bob” Keiser, and one sister-in-law, Ginny Keiser.

Donald was preceded in death by six siblings: Lavern (Theresa) Keiser, Valbert (Ruth Ann) Keiser, Charles Keiser, Amelia (Alfred) Bollheimer, Mary Rose (Richard) Borges, and Ruth Ann Keiser; and one sister-in-law, Judy Keiser.
