Professor Keller was indeed an inspiration to me during my undergraduate years at Princeton. From her infectious smile to her signature frames, she was always a welcomed presence in my world. We are all better for her having been in our lives. Her legacy lives on.

We loved Suzanne, she brightened up the world with her effervescent presence, charisma, warmth, a burst of energy and ideas. We met her over the bridge table at the Towers at Key Biscayne, she was very passionate about playing bridge, she thought about all the little details that build great friendships, and it is very rare to meet a very great person like dear Suzanne was. I will always remember her forever.
