Earline Adelta Keyser of Virginia Beach, VA passed away on June 30, 2022, at the age of 85 with her daughters, Stacy Viles and Claudia Burch by her side. Born on August 19, 1936, Earline was the oldest child of Claude and Talmadge Beacht of Brunswick, Maryland. After graduating from Brunswick High School in 1954 she briefly worked at the FBI before a long career at Bechtel as a legislative liaison. After moving to Virginia Beach in the early 90's she became a Real Estate Agent and then worked for an Attorney.
She was a strong woman who taught us to stand up for ourselves and for those less fortunate and worked tirelessly to ensure that our brother Franklin was afforded the same education and opportunities as the rest of us. In addition to fighting for the causes she believed in, she loved her pets, travelling, reading, gardening, and birdwatching
Earline's strength and compassion will live on through her children and grandchildren for years to come. She is survived by her daughters Stacy (Steve) Viles and Claudia Burch; her grandchildren Josh (Mary) Viles, Travis (Helen) Carey-Viles, Jason Burch, Brandon Burch, Mallory (Corey) Barnett, Madison Burch; her great grandchildren James and Franklin Viles, Aleah & Adelynn Burch, Harper and Asher Lynch, Harrison Carey-Viles and her brothers, Edward (Virginia) Beacht and Wilson (Ann) Beacht.
Please join us in wishing Earline "Bon Voyage" on her reunification with her parents and son Franklin. Service will be held at the John T Williams Funeral home in Brunswick, Maryland on Saturday, July 9th with visitation at 2:00 pm; service at 3:00 pm followed by a graveside committal.
