Emily Anna Fritz Keller
On January 13, 2020, Emily Anna Fritz Keller went to her Glorious Home in Heaven to joyfully live forever with her Dear Father God, Loving Savior Jesus, her recently departed husband Cornelius, loving son Glenn, Mom Stella, Dad Stanley, brothers: Billy, Rudolph, Stanley, Artie and Johnny, and sisters: Wanda and Fabby.
Born on March 28, 1935, Emily is remembered by her siblings as a wonderful sister who was fun loving, very, very, fast, and a very helpful sister who was deeply devoted to their widowed mother.
Her children: Doreen, Glenn, Brenda, Beverly, Brian, Virginia, Pamela and Stephen, sons-in-law: Frank Riggott, Frank Piscatello, Mark Shamatovich, grandchildren Eric, Keith, Cassandra, Matthew, Domenic, Jennifer, George, Isabella, Sarah, Ally and great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews all adored her.
As a mom she was trustworthy and loving with strong convictions. Beautiful inside as well as out. Her husband Cornelius always mentioned her intelligence as well. Her children speak of her dignified, affectionate and "cute, Angelgirl, Angel Baby, Darling Mommy" ways.
Sacrificing her own comforts, ambitions and needs to generously devote her life to protect, raise and care for her 8 children as well as helping to raise many of her grandchildren, her love and childlike faith in Christ helped her and her family get through countless trials and tribulations.
She loved being around her family, movies, going on vacations near the water, learning about the Bible and Praising God.
As a wonderful example of what it means to be a forgiving and loving Christian, Emily taught her children, grandchildren and family what bravery and devotion are. We will deeply miss her until we see her again in Heaven.

Dear Emily ~ What I remember most in my memory is how you treated me as part of your family in the growing, younger years of life with your down-to-earth & spunky charm when Glen & I were in a dating relationship. I will always have a fond memory of you, your family, & those days. May you be forever at peace with our Lord with an eternal joy reunited with your loved ones.
Sincerely, Debi Galemba-Colocchio
