Barbara Kellar Obituary

Barbara Ann Kellar (nee Hammerstrom), age 72, was called to her eternal home by her Lord and Savior on December 19, 2023.

Preceded in death by her parents Robert and Lorraine Hammerstrom; sister Luanne Hammerstrom.

Beloved mother of children Michael Kellar (Kristine), Scott Kellar (Jes Kingbird), and Ann Wild (Brian); devoted grandmother to Ashley and Rachel Kellar, ReSean Kellar, Tyler and Joshua Wild; siblings Bonnie Kreatz (Lloyd), Joanne Hammerstrom, and Jane Anderson (Alan); and many special nieces, nephews, and friends.

Barb was an active member of River Valley Church. Music was her favorite part of the service. She was a deeply devoted Christian whose faith was evident in all she did. She was a true servant of the Lord with a loving, selfless heart and always put others before herself. Her true passion was spending time with her grandchildren. She was an avid reader and loved her daily devotions and Bible studies. God bless her soul. She will be greatly missed but is forever in our hearts.

A private family service is planned for a later date. Memorials preferred to the Music Worship Team at River Valley Church, Apple Valley.
