Jeremiah “Jerry” O’Keefe has been and continues to be a central and dynamic force in bringing the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art from vision to reality.  Jerry and his children gave the first major gift to the Ohr-O’Keefe capital campaign in 1998 in memory of Jerry’s wife, Rose Annette Saxon O’Keefe.  In recognition of and gratitude for the family’s ongoing contributions, which today have exceeded 1.8 million dollars, the George Ohr Museum was renamed the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art in honor of Annette O’Keefe.
