RIALTO
 Linda Keith A native of Plant City, Florida, Linda KeithLinda S. Keith, succumbed after battling cancer for several years. Born to Roosevelt Thomas and Dorothy Wright-Thornton on July 4, 1951, Keith accepted the Lord at an early age and was a faithful servant throughout her life. Keith was educated in the Plant City public schools, graduating from Jewett High School.
In 1970, Keith relocated to San Bernardino, joining her Aunt Minnie and family. Keith loved Aunt Minnie, who preceded her in death. She met and married James Keith and worked as a Nurses Assistant at Community Hospital for 13 years before failing health forced her to retire. Keith loved music, loved to work in the yard planting flowers and loved the Lord, joining Bethel AME Church of Fontana and singing in the choir shortly before her illness incapacitated her.
Left to cherish her memory are longtime companion, William Blake; daughter Michelle (Steveon) Williams, sons Kelcey (Nicole) Burton and James Keith; her mother, Dorothy Thornton; sister Alice Faye Thornton; brothers Arthur Wright, Jr., Timothy Wright, Theodore Wright, Joe Wright, Darrell Thorton, six grandchildren and a host of special relatives and friends.
