​Celia Fancher, Treasurer/Secretary

​Celia was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas and relocated to north Tarrant County in 2005 to be closer to her children and other family. Celia’s first job right out of high school was in accounting and her bookkeeping skills and life-long desire to make a difference have given her the opportunity to not only to work for herself, but also to work for many wonderful companies and organizations over the years, giving her a wide range of knowledge and experiences. Celia feels fortunate she was able to volunteer for many non-profit organizations over the years serving in such capacities as board member, treasurer, and secretary while raising her family.  She retired in 2019 and was led to KCSF, Inc. in 2021. Celia strives to teach her five grandchildren the value and importance all “seniors” have in our society. She is honored and excited to become part of this hard-working organization and the opportunity to continue to make a difference as her journey continues. ​

Debbie Bryan, Board Member

​Debbie is a proud native Texan born in Dallas and is passionate about preserving its heritage. Graduated Suma Cum Laude, she holds a degree in Kinesiology, which she attained in her 30’s while raising two young children as a single mother. She did not work in this field long since she married a widower with four children and decided being a mother to six was most important. Debbie served on the Keller City Council for five years and found helping her constituents very fulfilling. During her tenure, she advocated for a new, larger Keller Senior Activities Center. She enjoys theater, playing tennis, pickleball, water volleyball, and card games with friends in her spare time.​

Tamera Webb, Board Member

Tamera moved to DFW from Houston in 2019. She graduated with Honors from Georgia State University. While she has worked in multiple industries including banking, education, restaurants/hospitality and travel, her priority has always been to be present in her home for her family. Her oldest graduated college and lives in Atlanta, Georgia, her middle daughter will be a Junior at TTU, and her youngest (son) will be a Freshman in the Engineering program at UNT. It is now time for her to give back to her community! Tamera enjoys tennis, reading, and spending time with her family.  ​

​Marie Doran, Board Member

​Marie has worked as a bookkeeper and office manager during her working career. She is a Senior with a lot of free time. She likes keeping busy, so she decided to volunteer at the Keller Senior Activities Center and with the Keller Community Senior Fund, Inc. She coordinates all our volunteers and supervises our Craft Fair Events. ​

Albert Aufforth, Board Member

​Albert served four years in the Navy with three years in Panama to prepare our service men for the war in Viet Nam. He received his BS Degree from Mercy College in New York. He then went to work for Geigy Chemical in New York as an Architectural Engineer in charge of the Design Services Department.  He was relocated to Dallas Texas until he decided to get his Texas real estate brokerage license. He eventually retired to Sun City in Georgetown, Texas. Not wanting to sit idle, he got involved with creating and fund raising for a Community Garden there. In 10 years of fundraising, they fenced in 6 acres, built 200 raised beds, drilled a well and watering systems, full size barn/workshop, 30-foot greenhouse, purchased a tractor and amenities. All the labor came from Sun City residents and no money came from the CA!​
