It is with great sadness that the family of Keith H. Barrett, 93 of Mendota announces his recent passing. Keith's beautiful soul was peacefully lifted by God's redeeming grace on January 18, 2019 at Brightmoor Hospice in Griffin, GA.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date with burial at Wisner Cemetery.

Keith was born June 18, 1925 in Sublette to John and Grace (Hotchkiss) Barrett. He married Eloise Irene Mear December 5, 1943 in Ashton.

They raised their four children in the farm community of Meriden, Il. He farmed most of his life and owned his own painting and flooring companies. Keith took great joy in singing and dancing. The entire family cherishes a video taped this last Thanksgiving of their  93 year old father singing and dancing with their 93 year old mother.

He is lovingly remembered by his adored wife of 75 years, Eloise; his son, Larry (Jeanne) Barrett of Mendota; his daughters, Nancy (Bob) Watkin of Peachtree City, GA. and Cheryl (Jerry) Thorne of Sublette, IL; his daughter-in-law, Sonia Barrett, of Sublette; his sisters Sandra Phalen of Mendota and Carol Weidman of Earville. Mr. Barrett treasured his family above all else and took great pride in his 17 grandchildren, 42 great grandchildren and 11 great great grandchildren.

He was preceded by his parents John Barrett and Grace Scherger, recently by his youngest son Dennis Barrett on January 5, 2019 and his brother Bruce Scherger March 15, 2018.

Words cannot describe the amount of love, strength, compassion, integrity, guidance and joyful laughter he brought to family and friends. Nor can any words describe how much he will be missed. Till we meet again…
