Keevers marking 40 years

By Phil Cobb | May 14, 2020 |

Kirby and Brenda Keever of Burlington Jct. were married on May 21, 1980 at the Parnell United Methodist Church. The couple first met in 1977, began dating in 1978 and were engaged on Christmas 1979. Their wedding attendants were Marsha (Herndon) Wilmes, Michelle (Merrigan) Ware, Doug Keever and Karl Ritterbusch. Kirby and Brenda have two children and six grandchildren.

Kirby’s advice after 40 years of marriage is “learn to agree and dismiss” and Brenda didn’t have advice to offer because she still can’t believe she has been married to Kirby for forty years!

In honor of the couple’s anniversary, their children are requesting a card shower celebration. Cards can be mailed to the couple at 16679 220th Street, Burlington Jct., MO 64428. An anniversary celebration with family and friends will be scheduled for a later date this summer.
