Donald and Charlotte Keane
70th Anniversary
Donald J. Keane and Charlotte R. Tanner were married on Sept. 14, 1947, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Rockland, Mass.
They moved to Coeur d’Alene with daughters Pat and Kathy in 1953. Don and Charlotte added daughter Donna, and sons Jack, Tim and Willy while raising their family here.
Family time is always special. In addition to that, Don loved to drive and together the loving couple visited all 50 United States and all the Canadian Provinces. Had to take a flight to Hawaii because there was no bridge to drive his truck.
In this 70 years, lots of things have changed in this world, but some things have not; we still see them holding hands and kissing each other hi, bye, good morning and good night.
