Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

Susyn Carol (Lehman) Keel, age 74, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. Born on January 2, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah to William (Bill) Lehman Jr. and Carol Lehman. She was a wonderful wife, mother, stepmother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend.

Susyn married Larry Dean Keel on March 12, 1975 and their marriage was later solemnized in the Jordan River Temple. Susyn was mother to three loving boys Jeff (Tad), Michael, and Scott (Lisa) Vance.

Susyn is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was the organist for the Hunter 11th ward for multiple years. She worked for and retired from the State of Utah after 34 years and 9 months.  She achieved one of her lifelong dreams of obtaining her bachelor's degree when she graduated from Westminster University and was an amazing housewife and caregiver to her late husband through his battle with kidney failure. She loved to take care of her dogs, do puzzles, and attended a weekly book club. Susyn was a beautiful piano player and for many years loved to share her gift by teaching piano lessons to some of her grandkids and many of the neighborhood children.

She is proceeded in death by her parents William (Bill) Lehman Jr. and Carol Lehman; brother Kim Lehman; son Jeff Vance; husband Larry Dean Keel.

Susyn's family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the care workers at Bellaview Assisted Living and Memory Care. The staff there took amazing care of her and made her feel comfortable. She especially adored her nurse, Curtis.
