Gloria A. "Prejza" Keller

Gloria A. (Prejza) Keller passed away Sunday, September 21, 2025, in Greensburg, PA after a long period of illness. Born on May 17, 1936 in Herminie, PA to parents Paul and Dorothy (Arch) Prejza, her loving father wrapped Gloria in a pink blanket and dubbed her 'Pinky', an affectionate name that would remain with her all her days.

Gloria graduated from Sewickley Twp. High School in 1954. She married her high school classmate, Barry Keller in 1957, and they enjoyed 54 years of marriage together in Valparaiso, IN, Homewood, IL, Florence, AL, Holmdel, NJ, and their retirement years in Herminie & Greensburg, PA, until Barry's untimely passing in 2011. Gloria loved people and enjoyed cooking, entertaining, and time with family and friends, especially her children and grandchildren. Her Christian faith and lifelong involvement in multiple Lutheran congregations sustained her spiritual needs and beliefs throughout her nearly nine decades of life. She gave freely of herself to all who knew her.

Gloria is survived by three children: Mark Keller and his wife Gaye (Wilson) of Crozet, VA, Jill Bonneau of Mechanicsville, VA, and Scott Keller and his spouse, Alan Shannon of Oak Park, IL; three grandchildren: Andrea (Mitchell) Freitas and husband Newlin Sharkey of Colorado Springs, CO, Scott Keller and wife Jennifer (Europa) and great-grandchildren Beckett and Kemp of Peoria, AZ, and Sarah (Keller) Barger and husband Phillip and great-grandchildren Cyrus and Sylvie of Charlottesville, VA; two brothers: Paul Prejza of Los Angeles, CA and Harry Prejza of Herminie, PA; sister Mary Trice of Richmond, VA; and niece Julie Trice Doran of Glendale, CA.
