Roberta L. Keller

August 26, 1961 - December 8, 2025

Roberta (Bert) Keller passed away on December 8th, 2025, after a long, courageous battle with chronic illness. Diagnosed with stage IV cancer in 2015 and given only until Christmas to live, she defied every expectation. With the support and dedication from her loving husband they found a new doctor and together traveled back and forth to Chicago. She fought hard for two years, wanting to spend as much time as possible with her family. She and her family were blessed with another ten years. Roberta was always the rock for her family. She was dedicated to taking care of her family and providing a wonderful life regardless of circumstances. After raising six children on her own, Roberta went from a high school education to a Bachelors of Science in Internet Systems Software Technology. She ended her career as a Director with the IT department at local Bellevue University, who supported her and her family through everything. She was admired by colleagues and known for her kindness, strength, and unwavering support. Roberta loved her family fiercely and cherished large gatherings filled with food, games, and laughter. She had a strong sense of humor, even leaving oreos out filled with tooth paste, "for the kids". She was loved deeply by her family and is already terribly missed. She was preceded in death by her parents, Catherine Fontenelle and Wayne Beers, and by her grandchild Brenden Patire (Alyssa). Roberta is survived by her husband, Brian Keller; their love lasts to infinity and beyond. She is also survived by her siblings: Pat Beers, Carole Johnson (Dave Miller), and Peter Beers. She leaves behind 9 children: Cris Jensen (Bre Jensen), Laura Jensen, Bryce Jensen, Erin Kuszak (Cody Kuszak), Austin Jensen, Erina Garcia (Jessica Garcia), Creston Decker-Keller (Beverly Q. Decker-Keller), Matthew Beers, and Brittney Decker-Keller; 12 surviving grandchildren and one who preceded her in death: Brenden Patire (Alyssa), Bailie Patire, Amma Cunningham, Auggie Cunningham, Cadence Jensen, Cooper Jensen, Abby Jensen, Kayla Kuszak, Owen Kuszak, Jayden Decker-Keller, Aiden Decker-Keller, Daniel Csipkes, and Asher Beers; and three great-grandchildren: Wrenley Patire, Brantley Griess, Brody Griess.
