Jenny was born October 27, 1943 in Greenville, South Carolina to Jenny and Sam Faile.
She was raised in Greenville, SC and a 1961 graduate of Greenville High School and 1965 graduate of Winthrop University. While in high school she displayed her beautiful singing voice by performing leads in musicals for her high school and the Greenville Little Theatre. She carried this talent throughout life performing in many weddings, church performances, and just singing with family.
She married William “Craig” Keese on December 17, 1966. After marriage, she and Craig lived many places with Germantown, TN and Greenville, SC being the longest. Jenny loved traveling and thanks to Craig’s work was able to visit places all over the world. She was a faithful and loving wife and had numerous jobs, but the most important was raising her children. She loved her grandchildren and spent many hours laughing and playing with them. When Jenny was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease she was determined to fight it and she did that well for as long as it was possible.
Jenny is survived by her husband, Craig, and her daughter Meredith Dobson and husband Scott, along with 4 grandchildren, Ava, Sam, Reeves, and Anna Lynn; and two nephews, Jimmy and Kevin Coker.
Jenny is preceded in death by her parents, Jenny and Sam and sister, Mary Charlotte; her son, Brian and beloved grandson, Nathan.
