Keller

I was peacefully called home from my earthly surroundings on November 10, 2026, surrounded by the love of my beautiful family.

My life began on October 27, 1953, the third child of the “Great Eight”, to Fras and Joan Frassetto of Kimberly, Wisconsin. Holy Name of Jesus School was where I began my grade school years, before continuing to Kimberly High School. There, I was a proud member of the Drill Team Squad and Student Council and graduated in 1972. Never venturing too far from the community that helped shape my faith as a child, Holy Name of Jesus, later named Holy Spirit Parish, became woven into nearly every chapter of my story. I found joy in volunteering - serving lunches, helping with Country Christmas, selling SCRIP, supporting parish events, and serving as a lector. I loved organizing anything anyone gave me or quietly stepping in wherever help was needed. Serving my parish was never about recognition; it was simply a way of giving back to a community that had given me so much

On November 3, 1972, I married the rebel from Combined Locks, Wisconsin, Ed “Buck” Keller, at Holy Name Church in Kimberly. Together, we began what would become a beautiful, sometimes crazy, always memorable family life. Over the years there was time spent crafting, golfing, fishing, sewing numerous Halloween costumes for my children and grandchildren, camping, traveling with my husband and spending as much time as possible with my family. If I wasn’t at church, volunteering or driving all over town you could find me in the gymnasium cheering on my grandchildren. Some of the simplest things brought me the greatest joy: a McDonald’s Diet Coke, concession stand popcorn, making malts after a big family dinner, and wearing flipflops no matter what the Wisconsin weather had to say. But perhaps my greatest joy of all was being a wife, a mom, a grandma, GG, sister, aunt, godmother, friend, and a faithful member of my Church community. My family was my greatest blessing and loving them was one of the greatest gifts God ever gave me.

I am survived by my loving husband of 53 years: Ed “Buck” Keller and my children: Jason (Jenny) Keller, Nikki (Matt) Chevalier, and Adam (Andrea) Keller. My memory will live in the hearts of my six grandchildren: Charlie, Mallory, and Trey Keller, Amber (Alek) Johnson, Taylor, and Payton Chevalier. Two great-grandchildren that lovingly called me GG: Maverick and Kehlani Johnson. Left to cherish my memory are my beloved siblings and siblings-in-law: Vickie (Gary) Gossens, Mary Fran (Tom) Erickson, Gino (Nancy) Frassetto, Lisa (Mike) Stumpf, Frank (Lori) Frassetto, and Paula (Jim) Vander Loop, Don Keller (special friend, Sabina), Gary (Vicki) Keller, Anne Keller (Tricia Gates), Kathy Lenz, and Jack (Cathy) Keller. My godchildren-Tim Keller, Matt Erickson, Jana, Andrew, Logan and JoJo Thompson, along with many beloved nieces and nephews, will also carry a piece of my heart with them. And to my dear friends Betsy Wisneski, Fran Keller, Mark Lenz, CRHP Sisters and my Cursillo Community – thank you for the faith, friendship, laughter, prayers and love that became such an important part of my life. Your presence, support, and friendship were gifts I will forever hold close to my heart.

Those who preceded me in death include my parents, Fras and Joan Frassetto; my brothers, Joe and John Frassetto; Buck’s parents, Chuck and Rose (Vanden Boomer) Keller; my brother-in-law, Robert Keller; my niece, Alena Frassetto; and cousin Kathy Frassetto Kapsos Suhr.

A funeral liturgy will be held on Friday November 20, 2026, at 11:00am at Holy Spirit Parish Church, 600 E. Kimberly Avenue in Kimberly with Fr. Carl Schmidt and Fr. Ben Pribbenow celebrating. Friends may call at church from 9:00am until the time of service. In addition, there will be a time of gathering for family and friends from 3:00pm until 6:00pm on Thursday November 19, 2026, at Holy Spirit Parish. His gathering time will be followed by a brief prayer service. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Bovi, Dr. Connelly, the Encircle staff, St. Paul’s Rehabilitation staff, St. Paul’s Hospice staff, and Betsy Wisneski, Anne Appleton, Mark and Mary Pribbenow for the kindness, compassion, care, and dignity shown throughout this journey.

Jesus, I Trust In You.
