Oran Lovell Keith, 92, Sherwood, died Wednesday, October 6, 2021, at a Mohall nursing home.
He was born on June 7, 1929, at home, in rural Bottineau County, to Lovell and Selma (Roths) Keith. He attended school at Clay Center and Mohall Public School. After school he worked on the family farm with his father near Mohall.
Oran was united in marriage to Audrey Anderson on September 21, 1951.  To this union, two children were born:  a daughter, Kathy Mae, and a son, Steven John.  He enlisted in the Army in 1951 and was honorably discharged in 1953.  The couple lived in Port Townsend, WA, while Oran was in the military, and then moved back to North Dakota.  They farmed near Mohall for several years before moving to Sherwood where they took over the farm from Audrey's father.
Oran retired from the family farm in the mid-1990s and began working for Farmers Union Oil in Mohall.  Once he retired from Farmers Union Oil, he continued to help on the family farm.  He enjoyed running combine for his cousins until he was 88 years old.
Oran was active in the American Legion, serving as Post Commander, Adjutant and District Offices.  He served as Prosperity Township Supervisor, on the Renville County Zoning Committee and drove bus for Sherwood Public School.
Our family is comforted to know that Oran has joined his lifetime love, Audrey, in heaven.
