Ann Sauvain (Pahler) Kelton

Ann was born to the late Alice and Gerald Goebel. After the tragic loss of her son Michael Allen Pahler in 1980, her husband Carl W. Pahler, Sr. soon followed in 1982. Several years later she married David Kelton, who also preceded her in passing. In more recent years her brother Jerry Goebel passed, as did her sister Susan’s beloved, Alek Davis.

Throughout her life, Ann loved anything social and filled her calendar with family, friends, golf, card games, little fluffy dogs, the “lunch bunch” and much more. She was a devoted parishioner of St. Raphael for nearly 60 years. To her children, she should have been on the cover of Good House-Keeping, as she was a very stylish woman and enjoyed shopping & decorating her home. They treasure the memory of her nurturing and dedication throughout their entire upbringing. She will be missed dearly by family, friends and the many souls she gently touched.

Here to cherish her memory are her children; Carl W. Pahler, Jr. (Beth), Patty Pahler, Gary Pahler (Angela), grandchildren, Alex and Matt Pahler, and grand dog, Sophie; brother-in-law, Robert Nutt (Jerry) and sister, Susan Goebel (Alek).
