Keemer-Phipps

I am helping my daughter with a lady in her church. Her name is Martha Keemer "Phipps". She was born in Paris , Illinois. Martha has no relatives in Nashville. She moved 20 years agon when she married her husband around 1963. He died shortly after they came to Nashville. She told us she had a brother named Jack Keemer who died 1987. Her mother was Mary Sue Keemer Susie. I found her in the census records in 1930 with her Grandmother Mattie Keemer and her Uncles. A few

of them have died.  We were told that she had a boy and girl who were taken away from her.
 
If anyone is trying to find Martha I would love to be in contact with them. She is now hard of hearing and has difficulty seeing.
 
I live in Charleston, WV and a member of DAR.
Any help would be appreciated.
