KELLER: Emily Mona (Moore) Keller, went to be with her Lord Jesus on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at the grand age of 96. She was living at Desert Peaks Assisted Living in Dona Ana where she had received very good care. Emily was born in a house near Buckhorn, New Mexico, May 28, 1927. Years later, after the house was torn down, she would say that she was born under a mesquite bush on Buckhorn Flats. That was a reflection of the strength and humor that was her lifelong personality. Quilting has been a passion of hers in her later years. She also loved being a grama (her spelling). Emily, also known to many as Emmy, grew up near Buckhorn. After high school, she moved to Silver City to work at Sears Cleaners. It was there that she met and then married S. Frank Keller, her partner for life on her birthday in 1949. They continued to follow Franks career with Ted Brown Construction until 1952. They moved to Bear Creek near Gila, NM and purchased their lifelong home in 1954. Emily lived there until 2018 when her declining health caused her to move back to Silver City and then to Las Cruces for assistance. Emily was a lifelong member of the First Presbyterian Church in Cliff and was a founding member of the McClendon House Senior Center in Gila. Emily is survived by her daughter, Lora Gose (Grant); her son, Sam (Kathy); her grandchildren, Jami Summers, Jerad Gose (Lauren) and James Gose; her great grandchildren and great great grandchildren; her several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Mona Moore; a daughter, Emily Lucille (Cindy) Herr; and a granddaughter, Rebecca Acosta (Ronny).
