A wife of more than 30 years to her husband, Blue, Sen. Keim is the proud mother of three adult children whom she homeschooled into high school. While her happiest moments are climbing a mountain with her family, she enjoys all time spent on outdoor activities including skiing, bike and ATV riding, yard work and, yes, even shoveling snow.
