Christine Keeler Obituary

Christine (Flanigan) Keeler, 63, passed peacefully into the arms of God at Jefferson Hospital on Aug. 9, 2025. She was born Dec. 24, 1961, in Greensburg, daughter of the late Elizabeth Flanigan. In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Keeler. She was a mother to Stephen Thomas, Margaret Beth, and Helen Margaret and a sister, cousin, niece, and friend. She is now at peace with God and her love, Larry. She loved her cat, Skeeter. Life was never easy for our sister; she had many challenges. However, through it all, she managed to fight the waters that tried to flood her life. Epilepsy, mental health challenges, and cancer took their toll on her body. When we were little, she was our protector and a great big tease to us both. But we were family and we now cherish the time we had. Life happens, and because she didn't have the same dad as us, we drifted apart and back again, and the cycle continued. But she was our sister; we loved her and will miss her presence. Her passing has been a shock, but we rest in her being with God and her husband. She is survived by sister, Sara (Michael) Israel of Herminie; nephews, Dustin Cole (Marrisa) and Michael (Amber) Cole (Emma and Caleb); niece, Cheri Cole (Shane) Maisy; and brother, George Martincheck of Inwood, WV. Preceded in death by sister-in-law, Dawn M. Martincheck. She is also survived by aunts, Nina Dyer of Madison and Bernadette Flanigan of Yukon; and many cousins that loved her. A memorial gathering will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, at JOSEPH W. NICKELS FUNERAL HOME INC., 404 Swickley Ave., Herminie, PA 15637, at which time a memorial service will be held to celebrate Christine's life.
