Margaret Ann Lippert Keiller's Obituary
Margaret A. Keiller passed away peacefully on January 30, 2026, at the age of 89, following a courageous two-year battle with congestive heart failure.
Margaret was born on October 5, 1936, to Clarence and Mildred Lippert and grew up in Sylvania, Ohio, a township of Toledo. From an early age, she developed the values that guided her throughout her life.
Strong in her faith, she lived her life anchored in prayer and unconditional love for her family. She was the spiritual heart of her family—lifting her children and grandchildren in prayer each day and offering steady encouragement through every season of life. Remembered as a truly kind and lovely woman, her warmth and grace will be deeply missed.
Most recently, Margaret was a devoted member of Victory Church in Lakeland, Florida, and previously an active member of Carpenter’s Home Church as well as Main Street Assembly. She found joy in singing in the church choir, running around Lake Hollingsworth, and cycling—activities that reflected her love of music, nature, and staying active.
She worked for many years as a medical records specialist at Lakeland Eye Clinic, where she remained until her retirement. Earlier in her career, she was employed at Stove Works in Atlanta, Georgia, and later worked at ABC Realty and Heartland Industries after relocating to Lakeland.
Margaret was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Mildred Lippert, and her brothers, William (Bill) Lippert and Leon Lippert.
She is survived by her daughters, Cheryl Berdugo (Angel) and Laura Starner (Doug); her grandchildren, Paige Webb (Case) and Kelsey Goolsby; and her six great-grandchildren, Madison, Wyatt, Duke, Aurora, Oliver, and Ripp.
A celebration of life will be held at Victory Church, Light of Lights Chapel, on Thursday, February 5, at 11:00 a.m.>
