Fred Keifman

February 2, 1952 — November 6, 2021

Fred Albert Keifman, age 69, of Chambersburg, PA, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, November 6, 2021, at his home. Born February 2, 1952, in Chambersburg, PA, he was the son of Amy (Christopher) Keifman and the late Eugene Keifman.
A 1970 graduate of James Buchanan High School, Fred went on to study accounting at Hagerstown Business College. He began his career working as a grocer at A & P Grocery and then Sunnyway Foods for 21 years, until 1990, where he continued in the food industry working at Ventura Foods until his retirement in 2012. Fred was also co-owner along with his wife of Keifman Bussing, since 1983. He attended Christian Life Church in Chambersburg, where he served as a greeter and an usher. As a man of great faith, he enjoyed reading the Bible daily and discussing scripture; and in times such as these he would ask that you pray for healing for his family. Fred also enjoyed gardening, caring for his animals on his farmette, tinkering outside, Sunday drives, riding motorcycles, helping others, socializing, but most of all he cherished time with his family.
Surviving is his beloved wife of 49 years, Theresa Maria (Racila) Keifman, whom he married on October 21, 1972; four children, Angela D. Overcash (husband Robert) of Chambersburg, PA, Candace F. Gearhart (husband Randall) of State Line, PA, John E. Keifman (wife Amber) of WA, and Gabriella J. Keifman of Chambersburg, PA; six grandchildren, Ethan, Jeremy, and Trentin Overcash; Nevaeh Keifman; and Reyannon and Ryan Gearhart; three siblings, Paul Keifman (wife Trish), Mary Kay Gelwicks, and Joy Peiffer; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, November 11, 2021, at 11 AM in the Chapel of Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 333 Falling Spring Rd., Chambersburg, PA, where Pastor Joe Pickens will officiate.
