Margaret D. Keller

Margaret D. Keller, a fifteen year resident of Easton, MD, peacefully changed her address on Wednesday, January 18, following a brief illness in Easton Memorial Hospital. Beloved daughter of Lillian D. and Howard A. Meyers, Margaret was born in New York City in 1938. Following her mother’s remarriage, she was raised by Lillian and William Edwards, and the couple made their home in Plandome, on New York’s Long Island. Following her graduation from Paul D. Shriber High School, Margaret attended Endicott College before her marriage to Howland G. Keller in 1960. They raised their two sons, William and John, in Devon, PA, where the couple lived until 1986. A devoted mother, she shepherded her boys through the ranks of school and Boy Scouts. No one was more proud as they graduated high school, college, and later, graduate school with her support and blessing. Margaret was an adventurous and willing spirit, and anyone who knew her knew that she was game for anything. A world traveler with exquisite taste, she relished experiencing the sights, sounds, and people in every part of the globe. Later, living in Connecticut and Virginia, she created homes and gardens that reflected her appreciation for art and beauty of every culture. Upon arriving in Easton, her circle expanded to include her daughter-in-law Beth Spurry, the extended Spurry family, and especially her beloved granddaughter, Olivia Keller, who has been her heart and the light of her life for the past ten years. Most recently, Margaret resided at Park View and became a member of the Elks in Easton. Always one to live life to the fullest, these were joyous days spent surrounded by many dear friends and visits from her sons and granddaughter. Margaret leaves these friends and family to treasure her memory along with her immediate family: Will and his wife Beth Pfohl of Bratenahl, OH; John and Melanie Culp of Chestertown, MD; and John’s cherished daughter, Olivia Grace Keller. The family plans a celebration of Margaret’s life at a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Margaret D. Keller to the Democratic Central Committee of Talbot County, 23901 Mt. Misery Rd, St. Michaels, MD 21663 or the Talbot County Humane Society, PO Box 1143, Easton MD 21601.
