Wayne William Keller M.D.

Wayne William Keller, MD Wayne William Keller, MD of Haverford, PA passed away on October 3, 2013 at the age of 74 from complications of cancer. Wayne was born in Wilmington, DE and graduated from The Wilmington Friends School, Yale University (where he was a Ranking Scholar), and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. After an internship and residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and two years at Pennsylvania Hospital, Wayne spent 41 years at Bryn Mawr Hospital as a cardiologist. Wayne was known for his comprehensive approach to patient care. The time and focus he put on each patient was a constant, despite the changing pressures of medicine during his career. He put the same amount of energy and hope into a 95 year old patient with a myriad of health issues as he did for a young person recovering from a heart attack. Many of his patients were with him for thirty years or more, and he valued each one uniquely. While Wayne treated some of the area's most prominent Philadelphians, he equally valued the patients who couldn't afford to pay him. In his last days, several patients reached out to Wayne to offer to help him in any way they could. Wayne was widely respected by his colleagues at Bryn Mawr Hospital, and he had strong relationships with the doctors, nurses, administration, and support staff. Family was most important to Wayne, and he treasured his four children and their families. Wayne always said that being a grandfather was "the best job around." His presence on the sidelines at his grandchildren's games or in the audience at their school performances will be sorely missed. Wayne also cherished his time at the family home in Lake George, NY. Wayne is predeceased by his wife Joanie Keller and his granddaughter Libby Bixby Drake. He is survived by his brother, Francis P. Howland; his daughters Mimi Drake (Tom) and Grace Keller (Stephen Sperry) and his sons Blair (Alicia Lavit) and Andrew (Alison); his grandchildren Estelle Libby Keller, Will Drake, Tyler Drake and George Drake; and his beloved dog Maggie. A memorial service was held on Tuesday, October 8th at 10:30am at St. David's Episcopal Church, Wayne, PA . In lieu of the flowers, contributions in Wayne's memory may be made to The Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation Attention: Nursing Excellence Fund, 130 South Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 or The Wilmington Friends School, 101 School Road, Wilmington, DE 19803.
