Marian Brackett Keneipp, Adair Co., KY (1924-2011)

Her kind smile, beautiful voice and friendly manner made her a beloved part of the community she and her husband, Rev. Paul Keneipp, inseparably joined after coming to our town as Rev. Kenieipp assumed the ministry of their final church home, Columbia United Methodist. Marian Keneipp shared in her husband's work in so many capacities - serving as choir director, organist, pianist, children's director, Sunday School director and in other significant ways. The Keneipps adopted Adair County as their home, even choosing it as the site of their final resting place on earth. Few have left such lasting impressions on the community as these two good people.
