Virginia Elizabeth Keyser (née Lamczyk)

January 10, 1962 – January 16, 2026

Virginia Elizabeth Keyser, 64, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026, at Christian Hospital Northeast, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in St. Louis on January 10, 1962, Virginia was the daughter of the late Sharon Netzeband and Arthur Lamczyk. A dedicated homemaker, she found her greatest joy in the life she built within her home and the deep connections she maintained with those she loved.

Virginia was a woman who knew how to enjoy life’s honest pleasures. Whether she was soaking up the fresh air outdoors, rooting loudly for her beloved St. Louis Cardinals, or sharing a laugh over an ice-cold beer, her presence was a comfort to many. She cherished her long, winding conversations with her best friend, Sharon, and held her family above all else. To her grandchildren, she was a source of endless love and affection.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 20 years, Milton “Mickey” Keyser, III; her son, Joseph (Alora) Schraut; and her stepdaughters, Karen (Jason) Killen, Ashley (Shawn) Keyser, and Giovana Keyser.

Her legacy lives on through her six grandchildren: Leanne, Michael, Ryleigh, Terry, Gionni, and Leevi, who were the light of her life. She also leaves behind her brothers, Paul (Celia) Lamczyk and Donald (Shannon) Netzeband, as well as her nieces and nephews: Jessica, Madyson, Celia, Pablo, Maria del Celia, and Josue.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Larry Lamczyk and Robert Funke.
