This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved mother, Patricia L. Keller, 71, born on December 12, 1945 and laid to rest on October 28, 2017 after a cancer illness. She would be honored to be forever remembered as she is in all of our hearts--alive, loving, well. She asked that in lieu of a service, we all grieve in whatever way we see fit. So we decided to create a virtual memorial here as a space to express condolences, share photos and stories, or even give a commemorative gift in her memory.
We miss her so much already, and always will! Her warm hugs, vibrant spirit, caring nature, her loving smile... these and so many memories will fill our hearts always. At the end of her life, her love and trust of Christ was strong and inspiring. We look forward to being reunited on the long-awaited day of Resurrection and especially to sharing Heaven and eternity with her!
Thank you for visiting--please share your memories, photos, and stories--the outpouring of your love and support means so much.
Sincerely,
The families of Brenda Keller Abraham and Philip Keller

She took my hand and made sure I got up the stairs dressed differently than normal! I shared this picture with her when David and I were celebrating our 50th anniversary this past Aug. and I even had a phone visit with her, which I’m especially thankful for. I believe the duet David and I sang in our wedding was thanks to Pat. I wish we had made more memories together in our adult years, but our paths didn’t cross much. There’s an eternity coming!! PTL!! Rest in Peace dearest friend.
Mountain Memories, the name of the 1964 yearbook from Mount Pisgah Academy, includes in its Senior Class this formal portrait of Patricia (Robie) Louise Roberson with the caption "If sweetness be a fault, her's is a great one." What insights yearbook editor and fellow classmate Sandra Gilbert must have posessed to select that caption!. That description proved true over the long haul. It didn't wear out or evolve.
Pat, or Robie as she was affectionately known, was indeed sweet. Her kindness extended to ALL and ALL basked in her warm acceptance while listening to her ever-present and altogether pleasant laughter. Her enjoyment of life, ability to mine blessings during dark times, and quick sense of humor added grace and charm to every situation.
Indeed, she will be forever missed. But we have this assurance "concerning those which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14
