Elizabeth Keller Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John F Givnish Funeral Home - Academy Rd on Feb. 12, 2026.
Elizabeth "Betty" Keller (née Perry), a lifelong resident of Croydon, PA passed away Monday, February 9, 2026 at St. Mary Medical Center. She was 76 years old.

Born to Joseph and Mildred Perry, Betty grew up in Croydon and attended St. Thomas Aquinas School and Bishop Egan High School. Betty and her husband George were high school sweethearts, and were married in 1970. The pair raised their family in Croydon, and could often be found roller-skating around Bensalem together. She took great joy in spending time with her family, and liked to say that her life really started when she was blessed with her grandkids. Betty loved to celebrate, especially through her yearly Easter egg hunts, backyard pig roast, and Christmas festivities. She loved her vacations too, whether that meant enjoying ham and cheese sandwiches on beach, trips to Jim Thorpe, or playing the slots down at the casinos in Atlantic City.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, George F. Keller, her parents, Joseph and Mildred Perry, and her sister, Ruth "Tish".

She is survived by her children: Betty Ann Lordan (John) of Philadelphia and Joe Keller (Darlynn) of Croydon, her grandchildren: Brianna (Hank), Alexis, Sean, and Jacob, and her brother, Harry (Robyn), and brother-in-law Bill Keller. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, as well as her fur grand-babies: Viper, Jagger, Dover, and Duck.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Betty's Life Celebration on Friday, February 20, 2026 at the John F. Givnish Life Celebration Home located at 10975 Academy Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19154. Her viewing will be held from 10:30 to 12:00 PM, immediately followed by a funeral service at 12:00 PM. Interment to immediately follow at Sunset Memorial Park in Huntingdon Valley, PA.
