James White Keith, age 85 of Winchester, passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at The Waters of Winchester. A native of Franklin County, he was born in Winchester on February 8, 1940, to the late John White and Daisy Dean (Roberson) Keith. A proud veteran, James served his country in the United States Air Force, retiring after twenty years as Master Sergeant. He then worked for eighteen years as an investigator for Dillards.
