Obituary
John Francis Herbert Keighley died on September 12, 2014 in Ashburn, Virginia. He was born on April 18th, 1927 in Blackburn, Lancashire, England to Dr. John W. and Dr. Elizabeth Keighley.
He attended Beaumont College, Old Windsor, in Berkshire, Medical School at Trinity College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London, England. As a physician and a compassionate man, Dr. Keighley treated and helped many patients over the years. His important work in pulmonary disease research and treatment helped save many more lives during his long and distinguished career.
John married Anita M. Bunster, the love of his life, on December 6, 1952 in London, England. They met while he was in medical school and Anita was in nursing school. They were lovingly devoted to each other for 62 years.
John is survived by his spouse, Anita of Ashburn, Virginia; his son John D.D. Keighley of Redondo Beach, California; his daughter, Elizabeth K. Smith of Leesburg, Virginia; and his twins, son David F. Keighley of Reston, Virginia and daughter, Joanne M. Evans (Joseph E. Evans) of Leesburg, Virginia; and other relatives and friends close and far. John was preceded in death by his parents Dr. John W. and Dr. Elizabeth Keighley and his sister Betty Rees.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the members of the INOVA Loudoun Hospital, and all of his wonderful Physicians and medical staff throughout his years. Their love, dedication, and quality of care, especially during his last nine days, was a heartwarming blessing to the entire family. We thank God for the gift of his life and the blessing for the time we had with him.
A mass will be held at the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, 231 N. King Street, Leesburg, Virginia on Thursday, September 18 at 1:30 p.m. A private burial for family and close friends will follow in the church gardens. Flowers may be sent to the Colonial Funeral Home of Leesburg, Inc., 201 Edwards Ferry Road, NE, Leesburg, Virginia 20176 or memorial donations may be sent to Oxfam International at www.oxfam.org
