Three sons were born to them: Ronald Lee Keller (Geri), of North Hudson, Wisconsin; Kirk Jerry Keller (Kris) of Lebanon, Oregon; and Kim David Keller (Brenda) of West Jordan, Utah. She was a homemaker, and enjoyed gardening, taking care of her cats and dogs, and raising her three sons. Jean was able to live in her won home until her recent illness, having never been hospitalized (except for childbirth) before then.

She was a 50+ year resident of West Jordan, and a faithful member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses which she and Ken joined in the early 1960s. They enjoyed a trip to Europe in the 1980s.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Ken in 2010, and her brother John of Leesburg, Florida in 2015.
