Peter and Sophie Horne. She lived on a farm near Aneta until Oct. 1925 when
she moved to Portland, Oregon with her family. She was the youngest of nine
children.
She married Harold T Keller May 24, 1940 in Vancouver, Wash. Six children
were born to them. She was very loving and a dear wife and mother. They
lived in and around Portland until they moved to Hermiston, Ore., in April
1950. Subsequently they moved to Nampa, Idaho in December of 1969. They were
divorced in March 1974.
She moved to the Golden Glow Tower in Nampa, October 1978. She married

Alice worked as a maid in Portland and also sang on a Christian radio
station prior to raising her six children. She was a devout Christian and
attended Nazarene churches wherever she lived. We are joyful she is pain
free and reunited with her family in heaven.
Many thanks to the caregivers at Trinity Mission of Holly, especially Joleen
and Ruth. They were like family the last six years of her life.
