Erma Elsie Plewe Keyser

After 92 years of loving service Erma Elsie Plewe Keyser passed away peacefully with her family and loved ones at her side on September 28, 2018. Erma was born May 14, 1926 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the youngest of 10 children of Herman and Elsa Plewe. She attended and graduated from South High school in 1944. She served a faithful mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Mid-Western States Mission, headquartered in Chicago Ill. Upon her return from missionary service she met and married her eternal companion Richard Alton Keyser who she adored in a loving marriage for 62 wonderful years.
In a gospel centered home Richard and Erma raised 7 children who to this day have high regard, deep appreciation, and abiding love for a Mother who was always a strong example of Christ-like service and sacrifice, and a Father who had a deep, unwavering love and commitment to his wife who he also adored as his eternal companion. Family was everything to Erma throughout her life. She was the proud Grandmother to 29 grandchildren and 55 great grandchildren who all knew of her unconditional love and revere her as an amazing example.
Throughout her life Erma served faithfully in many positions of responsibility in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was always a strong reflection of the Savior’s love as she exemplified selfless service in wearing out her life for others. Upon the retirement of her husband, Richard and Erma embraced the opportunity to serve a couple’s mission in the Detroit Michigan mission where together they fulfilled an honorable mission and grew stronger in their relationship and testimony of God’s plan.
Erma lived life to its fullest and left a legacy of love to all who knew her.
