Wadsworth Ritchie, a rancher.[3] She was the older sister of Montgomery Harrison Wadsworth Ritchie, who ran the family's Texas ranch, known as JA Ranch.[5] During World War II she served as an ambulance driver.[2] Her paternal grandmother was Cornelia Adair, the American born matriarch of Glenveagh Castle in County Donegal, Ireland who was married to John George Adair, a Scottish-Irish businessman and landowner.[1] CareerKeiller's golf career began in the 1930s under the surname of her second husband, Style. She won the 1948 Ladies' Open Championships in Luxembourg, Switzerland and Monaco, and again in Monaco in 1949.[1] In 1951 she was a finalist in the English Ladies Golf Championship.[3] As an art patron, Keiller focused upon 20th-century avant-garde art.[6] She became interested following a 1960 visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and through exposure to the work of Eduardo Paolozzi at the 1960 Venice Biennale.[7][3] Keiller developed her collection of Dada and Surrealist art with the advice of Roland Penrose.[6] Her bequest to the Scottish National Gallery comprised over 170 artworks (including paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings) in addition to a library of manuscripts, rare books, and journals.[3][8] The collection was exhibited there anonymously in 1988.[4] In 1996, the collection was enhanced by 26 works from the collection of Penrose. Keillor became a patron of both Paolozzi and Richard Long. She also commissioned Andy Warhol to make a portrait of her dachshund Maurice.[9] Beginning in the 1950s, Keiller became involved with several arts institutions. From 1956 to approximately 1970, Keiller assisted Rupert Bruce-Mitford in a study of the burial ship Sutton Hoo, taking photographs of the site.[10] She volunteered at the Tate from 1976 to 1987, where she was known as the "Marmalade Queen."[1] From 1978 to 1985, she was a member of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art advisory committee.[6] Personal lifeKeiller's second husband was Charles R. Style, a brewery manager. They divorced in 1950.[11] In 1951, she married her third husband, Alexander Keiller, archaeologist and family heir of marmalade makers in Dundee.[12][1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/obituary-gabrielle-keiller-1323603.html|title=Obituary: Gabrielle Keiller|last1=Brown|first1=David|date=12 January 1996|work=The Independent|accessdate=22 September 2017}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Keiller, Gabrielle}}2. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Zs6qBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA190&lpg=PA190|title=Biographical Dictionary of ScottishWomen|last=Ewan|first=Elizabeth L.|last2=Innes|first2=Sue|last3=Reynolds|first3=Sian|last4=Pipes|first4=Rose|date=2007-06-27|publisher=Edinburgh University Press|year=|isbn=9780748626601|location=|pages=190|language=en}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book|url=http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/959084816|title=Surrealism and after: the Gabrielle Keiller collection|last=Cowling|first=Elizabeth|last2=Calvocoressi|first2=Richard|last3=Clifford|first3=Timothy|last4=Grã-Bretanha|last5=Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Edimburgo)|date=1997|publisher=Trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland|isbn=090359868X|location=Edinburgh|language=English}} 4. ^1 {{Cite book|url=http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35599364|title=The magic mirror: Dada and surrealism from a private collection|date=1988|publisher=Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art|isbn=0903148811|editor-last=Magic Mirror: Dada and Surrealism from a Private Collection (Exhibition)|location=Edinburgh|language=English|editor-last2=Cowling|editor-first2=Elizabeth|editor-last3=Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art|editor-last4=Royal Scottish Academy}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Montgomery H.W.
