Nancy Lou Keller
We are saddened to announce the passing of Nancy Lou Keller, nee Mortensen, at age 75. Nancy was known for her caregiving nature, love of animals, and thoughtfulness towards those she cared about. Nancy grew up in Crystal Lake, IL, where she lived close to her extended family. She was an animal lover from the start, visiting her cousin's farm where she loved spending time with all of the barnyard animals and riding horses.
Nancy was a Registered Nurse for 30 years and thrived the most as an ER nurse. She later transferred her caregiving as a volunteer with Rainbow Assisted Therapy, where she and her golden retrievers would bring joy and healing to kids everywhere. As a cancer survivor of 50 years, she was also very active at The Wellness House, where she discovered her love of the Native American Flute and was very active within this community participating in various performances and retreats.
Nancy was the beloved wife of Ken Keller for 53 years; Loving mother of Jennifer (David Lovercheck) Keller; Loving grandmother of Emily Lovercheck; Dear sister of the late William Mortensen. She was also the loving owner of a menagerie of beautiful cats and dogs, many of which are busily greeting her at the Rainbow Bridge.
