Elaine Martha Keller was born February 18, 1934 to Otto & Betsy Henrickson. She spent her childhood in the small towns of Lancaster, Warren & Stephen, MN where she grew up with her five siblings.

Preferring the city life, Elaine moved to Minneapolis, where she met the love of her life, Larry Keller, whom she married May 5th, 1956 at St. Petri Lutheran Church in Stephen, MN. They began their life together in Minneapolis, but later moved to the suburbs of Coon Rapids, where they raised their two children, Keith & Karla.

Elaine was a dedicated employee at Jensen's Supervalu working second shift at the Service counter for 25+ years until she retired.
Following Elaine's retirement, she and Larry enjoyed many road-trips across the US, spent 21 years wintering in Texas, & packed their time full of socializing with friends & family, themed events, happy hours& games.

Elaine enjoyed camping & down-hill skiing while her children were young. She loved cooking for others & delighted in trying out new recipes to share at family events, & even learned how to clog during her time in Texas.

In the last few years, Elaine adored video chatting with her grandkids & great-grandkids, savoring the flavors of others' new recipes & skunking everyone in Dominoes.

Elaine has now been reunited with her husband Larry, to celebrate their 67th year together.
