Joyce Lane Keller

Joyce Lane Keller, a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, went to her eternal rest on March 2, 2024, a week before turning 92. She was born on March 8, 1932 in New Orleans, LA. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frederick B. Keller, Jr., her father William A. Lane, her mother Sidonia Ayo Lane, her sister Glenndolyn Lane Grassi, her brother, William Jesse Lane, her son Frederick B. Keller III and her son-in-law, Willie Peranio; she is survived by her three children, Brian Keller (Deborah), Cheryl Keller Peranio, and Cynthia Keller Johnson (Glenn Sr.); grandchildren, Frederick B. Keller, IV, Stephanie Keller Rousseau, Kelly Johnson, Adam Keller, and Glenn Johnson, Jr.; and great-grandchildren; Kya-Rose and Khloe Keller, and Caroline and Steven Rousseau. She is also survived by her sister, Gay Lane Hernandez (George).

Joyce was a resident of St. Bernard Parish for over seventy years and a parishioner of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Violet. She will be missed by all who were touched by her love and kindness. She enjoyed the many friendships she made from her activities at the St. Bernard Council on Aging. She was especially proud of her Senior Olympic medals. Joyce was an excellent cook and enjoyed Cajun and Square dancing, knitting, crocheting, sewing, bingo and bowling.

She made the world a better place while she was here, but now she is in a better place for eternity and will be forever in our hearts.

Friends are invited to the visitation that begins at 9 a.m. on March 9th at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 2621 Colonial Boulevard in Violet, Louisiana, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Interment will be at St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home & Gardens, 701 Virtue Street in Chalmette. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in memory of Joyce L. Keller at the above address.

The Keller family thanks the staff and volunteers of Compassus Hospice of Mandeville and Trinity Trace Community Care Center of Covington for providing caring palliative services to Joyce for several years.
