Born August 29, l954 - Died March 27,2013
Cheri was born on August 29, 1954, in Huron, SD to Fay A. and Janet K. Witte. Her early years were spent with her family in Woonsocket, SD where she attended elementary school and developed lifelong friendships. In 1967 her family moved to Mpls, MN for a short time, and in August of 1969 they moved to AZ.
In 1974 Cheri married the love of her life, Stu Keller. They lived in CA and TN before returning to AZ many years ago. Cheri was a very social person. She was outgoing, witty, and loved her family and friends. Cheri also loved her pets...they were in fact her family. Jigs, Tanzie, Mimmi, Angel, and Nanny will miss her.
Cheri was very creative and artistic, she had a "green thumb" and grew the most beautiful flowers and garden you could imagine. She loved to sing and play the guitar, and was a real sports fan.
Cheri came into this world fighting for her life, and she struggled with many health issues over the years. The last 5 years she suffered several traumatic and chronic illnesses, but she was a fighter. In November of 2012 Cheri had open-heart surgery and survived it, which was a miracle in itself. She was so optimistic that she would finally be able to get well, but God decided to call her home. Cheri was a baptized and confirmed Lutheran, a Christian who loved her Lord. We know she is now in the loving arms of Jesus where she witnessed Him in all His glory on Easter Sunday.
Cheri is survived by her husband Stu, her parents Fay and Jan Witte, her brother Rex Witte, mother in law, Sheron Keller (Donald), father in law Jack Keller (Phyllis), three brothers in law: Tim (Kim) Keller, Ken (Betty) Keller, and Phillip (Jeanne) Keller, 5 nephews, 2 nieces, and several cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends -- all whom she loved so dearly.
