            Martha Ann Keeney, 58 of Chagrin Falls, after a courageous and inspiring battle with cancer entered into eternal peace this week.
            For more than 20 years, Martha was a beloved educator and administrator in the Solon School district. Born December 27, 1953 in Solon, OH, Martha is the daughter of Clarence (deceased) and Blanche Kopacz and sister to John Kopacz (deceased).
            Martha is survived by her loving family: husband of 36 years, Stan Keeney; children, Brian (Megan) Keeney and Mary Beth (Chad) Gunerra; and her grandchildren, Brian Keeney, Jr. and C. J. Gunerra.
            Martha taught us all how to stay positive when faced with adversity, how to forge ahead when times are tough, how to make life about quality especially when the quantity is cut short, how to keep things in perspective and have fun along the way. Most importantly she taught us how to love unconditionally. We are all better people, parents, and educators for having known Martha.
            In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to be made to the MAK Foundation, established to honor Martha. This foundation will sponsor children in need towards developing their musical talents. Checks can be made out to MAK Foundation and mailed to 7475 Edwards Landing, Chagrin Falls OH 44023.
