Obituary for Edward E. Keibler

Edward E. Keibler, age 94, of Medford, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2026. Born on November 1, 1931, in Etna, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Wallace Keibler and Helen (Guentner) Keibler.

A proud United States Marine, Ed served his country with honor during the Korean War, rising to the rank of Sergeant. He was a distinguished member of the Chosen Few, the brotherhood of Marines and soldiers who endured the brutal conditions of the Chosin Reservoir campaign. His service was a defining chapter of his life, and he carried that quiet strength, discipline, and loyalty with him always.

Ed later made his home at 67 Woodthrush Trail West in Medford, where he built a life grounded in love, integrity, and devotion to family. He shared 42 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Donna Glass, who remained his steadfast companion and partner in all things.

Ed is lovingly remembered by his step-family: Pamela (Kinkelaar) Lomber and her husband Bob; and his granddaughters Rebecca Lomber and Amanda (Lomber) Suarez and her husband Joe.

Ed is survived by his children: Ken Keibler and his wife Lori Fagan, and their son Adam Keibler; Gordon (“Skip”) Keibler and his wife Lori Keibler; Mary Kallis and her husband Michael (“Mick”) Kallis; and Gloria Chantell and her husband Mark Chantell.

He was predeceased by his daughter, Christina Keibler, who passed away on March 11, 2022.

A loyal Pittsburgh sports fan throughout his life, Ed never missed a chance to cheer on his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. He also enjoyed following Notre Dame Fighting Irish football, taking great pleasure in watching their games season after season. His love of sports was a constant source of joy and connection with those around him.

Those who knew Ed will remember his unwavering sense of duty, his deep pride in his Marine Corps heritage, and the warmth he brought to every room. He lived a life marked by resilience, humility, and a steadfast commitment to those he loved.

Funeral Arrangements: In accordance with his wishes, no service will be held. Ed will be cremated, and his remains will be inurned at Arlington National Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest with the honor and dignity befitting his service to the nation.
