My condolences go out to the Keller family on the passing of their mother Arlene. May you find comfort and peace through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

I am one of many in generations of youth who benefited from Arlene's example and commitment. She and Norman showed us a view of Lebanon County from the air. She showed us how to grow our faith and share our faith through music - and how to have fun singing and traveling together! What a legacy and role model for a caring and committed Christian woman. She knew she was blessed to be a blessing. My sympathies to all of her family.

Cindy, Thom, Dan and Jane,

I didn't make it to the viewing or service, but my thoughts were with you!  Your mother was a monumental part of my growing up and young adult years.  From Cherub choir to choir parties on the patio to the many choir practices to the memorable Youth choir trips, Christmas tableau programs and Youth Sunday School teacher... Your mother gave so much of herself.  What a servant of the Lord!  Her legacy lives on!

Even in her advanced years, Arlene added joy to Brethren Village via her music and by warmly welcoming newcomers such as my aunt (Millie Chen).
With gratitude and prayers,
Connie Brown

Those of us who attended Women's Camp will always remember Arlene as the spark who ignited our singing.  I was blessed to have known her.

My sincere sympathies to the entire Keller family.  I was a classmate of Cindy  and I can remember all the way back to first grade (and that was a long time ago) when your mother brought in a birthday treat for her birthday.  She not only brought in cupcakes, but she brought in chocolate milk with it!  She was one of those people who you always remember fondly.   This world was blessed to have her as long as it did.

Our condolences to the Keller family. Arlene will be remembered for her encouraging way - always encouraging Evan as a pilot , always interested in what both of us were busy doing in life. There will be lots to remember as you celebrate Arlene's life.
Evan and Charlotte Lapp

My condolences to the family I know her son Thom Keller and seeing him know she was a caring loving woman

Arlene was my choir director when I was a child. I credit her for my love for singing and hearing the beautiful music of the church. She will forever be a special and loved person who influenced my life. She will be missed but never forgotten. My prayers and sympathies for her family.

So sadden to hear of the passing of this WONDERFUL servant of the Lord - some of my fondest childhood and teenage memories are of Arlene.  She was my favorite Sunday School Teacher and Choir Director.  She instilled in me a love of Christian music - the very first hymn she ever taught us to sing in Cherub Choir was "All Things Bright and Beautiful," not only is this still a beloved hymn, but also a summary of this special lady's legacy.  I am envisioning her with God in glory as she is receiving her many crowns of righteousness which she certainly earned during her lifetime here on earth.  My condolences to her family members, please cherish your fond memories of her, and realize how TRULY blessed you were to have her in your life as myself, and I am sure many others recognize as well - God Bless!

She instilled the love of Christian music in my soul - the first hymn she ever taught us to sing was "All Things Bright & Beautiful" which is certainly a beloved hymn, but also summarizes this lovely lady!  Just thinking of her now with God in glory receiving the many crowns of righteousness that she earned over her lifetime here on earth - my condolences to her family members.

My prayers are with the Keller family as you will gather, grieve, remember and celebrate a life so very well lived.  The songs that Arlene taught us are forever imbedded in my mind, and they bring joy, comfort, or encouragement-as needed and on demand!  Today, I am counting my blessings and naming them one by one.... and that list begins with Arlene.  I'm forever grateful to have had her influence in my life!
