Keller; granddaughter, Morgan Tara Keller; grandson, Daniel Francis Keller; sisters, Collette Duffy, Sherry (Gunther) Rohrmoser and their families; the Keller and Kelleher families, and many dear friends. Her courageous Irish spirit that inspired those around her and the gift of laughter that left a smile on the hearts of everyone she met will be deeply missed. Her love of music could be heard a mile before you got to her house and it always had you humming a tune as you left a little better of a person than when you arrived.
