Dorothy "Dottie" Keeler

Dorothy (Dottie) Irene Lewis, Magennis, Keeler, 92 of Twin Falls, Idaho sadly left us on May 21, 2024. Dorothy was born in Santa Barbara, CA in 1932 to John and Mildred Lewis.

Dorothy was a Santa Barbara High School graduate and went on to study at Santa Barbara City College. Her professional career lasted over twenty years with the Santa Barbara City School District at both La Colina Junior High and San Marcos High School. The Attendance Office was never the same for both schools after her retirement.

In retirement, Dorothy moved to Lake Arrowhead, CA before deciding to travel the Country with her late husband Dale Keeler. Dale and Dorothy loved RV Life and spent years traveling from RV park to park making new friends in each park.

Dorothy finally decided to settle in Twin Falls, Idaho. Her hobbies included volunteering in the gift shop at St. Luke’s Hospital, gardening around her home, needlepoint work, and knitting and crocheting newborn baby blankets donated to the maternity ward at St. Luke’s Hospital. Most of all, Sundays were reserved for NASCAR Races with her beloved dog on her lap!

Dorothy leaves behind a loving family of her children Gary J. Magennis, (Deborah Houts Magennis), Karen A. O’Dale, Barney J. Magennis, and Susan L. Magennis. In addition, there are nine grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Dorothy (Dottie) lived a long, wonderful life and will be missed forever!
