Joyce Keller, beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2026, in Homedale, Idaho. She was 80 years old.
Joyce was born on January 10, 1946, in Audrain County, Missouri, where her story began and where her roots remained an important part of her life.
She was the devoted wife of William H. Keller and a loving mother to her daughter, Merrilee Conway. She is also survived by her brothers, Harry and Charles Riechers, and their families.
Joyce found happiness in time spent with family and friends. She enjoyed preparing wonderful home-cooked meals for family and friends. She was radiantly kind. She also loved being outdoors and was an excellent golfer, hunter, and fisher. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In lieu of flowers, the family knows that Joyce would have preferred donations to be made to the Owyhee Country Historical Museum in Murphy, Idaho, in her name.
Graveside services will be held at Rock Hill Cemetery in Rush Hill, Missouri, at a date to be announced.
