Kathleen Keller Obituary

Kathleen Alice Keller, 78, of Minster Ohio, passed away peacefully on Jan. 26, 2025.
Kathleen is survived by her children: Maria Ferraro, Cheryl Burtch, Denice Shipman, Karen Beggio, David Keller, Erin Zimpfer, and Beth Reineke. Her legacy continues through her 18 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and pride.
She was preceded in death by her sister, Ellen Marts, and her parents, Frank and Grace Ladwig.
Born in Puyallup Washington, she lived in the Pacific Northwest until she relocated her family to New Knoxville, Ohio, in 1994. She later retired from Cargill in Sidney.
She was a hardworking, devoted Christian woman that loved Jesus with all her heart and loved studying the Bible and spending time in prayer. She was very artistic and had a myriad of interests and mastered everything she put her hand to. She loved to draw, paint, garden, make jewelry, crochet and craft. She also loved to fish, could fix a car, and skin a deer too.
Throughout her life, Kathleen found pleasure in playing card and board games with her large family and cooking holiday meals, she was an excellent cook and baker. These activities were not only hobbies but also a means of creating lasting memories with her family, who will cherish these moments forever.
Mom, you left an enduring mark on our hearts and we will miss you.
