Betty Jean Keller, 90, of Monessen, peacefully passed away on Dec. 27, 2020. She was born to the late Gustave and Beatrice Leclercq on Feb. 27,1930. She married the late A. Jack Keller in 1950 and is survived by their five children, Jack (Kathy) Keller of Coal Center, Cindy (Tony) Mondi of North Carolina, Vicki (Steve) Washek of Erie, Bill (Natalie) Keller of Utah and Brian (Laura) Keller of Florida. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Betty was predeceased by her loving husband, Jack, in 2012; and her four siblings, Bob, Glen, Marie and Pat. Betty was a kind and loving mother with a gentle spirit, a concern for others and a delightful sense of humor. She was an accomplished seamstress and pie baker. She loved playing bridge with her friends at Card Club. Betty and Jack enjoyed traveling with the Winnebago Club and she often shared stories of their experiences in all 50 states. She was an active member of The First United Methodist Church for many years. She was proud to sing in their choir and was the alto in “the Trio.” Betty recently said that she was ready to meet her Maker. Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Betty will be sorely missed by her family, but will be honored with a memorial service in the spring, when she will be buried in Mt. Pleasant with her husband.
