Beverly Ann Keto, 70, of Palmer, passed away peacefully Saturday, November 1st, 2025 at her home in the care of her loving daughter and Lake Superior Life Care & Hospice.
Beverly was born July 25, 1955 in Sault St. Marie to Keith and Gloria (Schwiderson) Crebo and was a 1974 graduate of Brimley High School. She was a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Beverly lastly worked at Kassels, amongst other gas stations and various prior employment. She loved being around people, getting to know regular customers, and chatting. She was named after her special aunt, Beverly Black. Bev married her husband Robert "Bob" Keto on July 25, 1974 where they lived together in Skandia for many years.
Beverly enjoyed visiting family and friends, talking on the phone, looking at old photos and reminiscing. She loved going for drives, thrift store shopping, rummage sales, and having her hair brushed. Like her mother, she would often be seen feeding others. She had a huge heart, always helping others, a second mother to many who came around and always there to help anyone in need. Bev had a sense of humor, known for her big smile, her witch cackle, being social, and spoke her mind when felt necessary. She loved cuddling with all the fur babies, especially her favorite cat Mazey, while living with her daughter and family. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, nothing made her happier than spending time with them, showing off their photos when they weren't with. Sleepovers with her grandchildren and spoiling them were her absolute favorite. She loved her family and friends greatly, showing her love always.
Surviving are her daughter: Tina (John "Andy") Mihaloew; her two sons: Mathew and Adam Keto; also, Katie (Tyler) Black and Lee Madosh; grandchildren: Leiland Keto, Lan and Izzi Mihaloew, Caden Aho, Peightyn Keto, Klowei Berquist, Helena and Ashlin Kleikamp; two sisters: Cindy Teeple and Debra Wirtanen; mother-In-Law: Gladys Keto, brother-in-law: Larry (Marilyn) Keto; nieces and nephews: Jamie (Todd) Durand, Lori Keto, Carrie Kalcich, Josh and Justin Piippo, and Alicia (Matt) First; and special friend: Kayleen Barnett. She was preceded in death by her parents, Keith Crebo and Gloria and Jim LaJoie, her husband Robert Keto on August 28, 2021, her best friend Linda McNally, her brother Keith "little Keith" Crebo, her father-in-law Edward Keto, and her brothers-in-law Al Wirtanen, Ernie Teeple, and Lance Keto.
Honoring Beverly's wishes, no public services will be held.
