Doris (Dori) A. Keiper, 63, passed away Wednesday, August 30th, in her home under hospice care following an extended illness with pancreatic cancer. She was the wife of Gary F. Keiper. Born in Danville, PA, she was the daughter of Mary (Kopey) and the late Andrew Yastishok. Dori received a B.A. in elementary education from Cedar Crest College and an M.Ed. in elementary school counseling from Lehigh University. She coordinated and taught Vacation Bible Camp for many years in her church, taught adult and student Bible studies, and hosted Child Evangelism in her home. Dori also worked for the Center for Humanistic Change and most recently for Kids Peace as a family counselor.
