Claudia Keywell (Rader), 78, of Farmington Hills, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on December 20, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Philip and Elma Rader.

Claudia was the beloved and devoted wife of Edward Keywell, with whom she shared 61 years of love and marriage . Together they built a beautiful life centered on family, faith, and love.

Claudia began her career as a teacher before devoting herself fully to raising her children. After her children were grown, she continued her career as a bank manager, where her kindness and dedication touched many lives. Upon retirement, she embraced her favorite role of all — being a full-time grandmother and great-grandmother. She spent countless hours with her family, cherishing every moment with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.

Family togetherness was at the center of Claudia's life. She and Edward shared a passion for travel, and together they enjoyed more than 60 cruises, creating memories across the world while always returning to the love of home and family. Her warmth, generosity, and dedication created a legacy of love that will continue to guide her family for generations to come.

Claudia was the cherished mother of Stacy Keywell (David Warshawsky) and Matthew Keywell (Toni Keywell). She was the proud grandmother of Molly, Cameron, Olivia, Armand, Sage, Maximus, Dezarae, Madalyn, Justyce and the adoring great-grandmother of Maddison.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Annette Fink, and is survived by her brother-in-law, Hershel Fink, and her loving niece and nephew, Sheri and Marc.
