Keller Patricia Margaret Of Media, Pennsylvania, loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister, passed away peacefully on October 27th, 2025 at the age of 85. Born on March 16, 1940 in Ashland, Pennsylvania, "Pat" was the eldest daughter of William J. Ross and Margaret Monaghan. She is survived by her devoted husband, Robert Francis Keller, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, unwavering companionship, and lasting memories. Robert's love was a constant light in her life, and he will forever carry their warmth in his heart. Pat's legacy continues through her loving daughters, Kristin (Michael) Meraglia of West Chester, Pennsylvania and Rebecca (Andrew) Freeborn of Rose Valley, Pennsylvania and her five grandchildren. Pat is also survived by her beloved siblings, who were always there for her, sharing life's experiences and family bonds. Pat, a proud and dedicated registered nurse, retired in 2005 after a career characterized by kindness and compassion. She earned her nursing degree with diligence, subsequently serving the community for many years at both Abington Memorial Hospital and Riddle Memorial Hospital. Patients and colleagues alike greatly appreciated her expertise and kind demeanor, making her a valued and respected member of the nursing staff. Beyond her professional life, Pat cherished the vibrant presence of her beautiful grandchildren, who brought immeasurable joy and laughter into her world. These precious relationships were a constant source of warmth and affection. Family vacations "down the shore" in Ocean City, New Jersey, created a lifetime of fond memories filled with sun, sand, and togetherness. Pat delighted in exploring new places with Robert, frequently embarking on day trips to local attractions, museums, and gardens. An avid sports enthusiast through and through, Pat found immense joy in the world of Philadelphia sports. Her loyalty to the Phillies and the Eagles was unwavering, and she rarely missed a game. It was a common sight to see her moving about the house, a trusty radio by her side, carefully tuned to her preferred broadcast. Pat also cherished the quieter moments. In her spare time, she found profound pleasure in the pages of a good book. Mystery novels, in particular, were her escape.
