Jessica Nicole Keller's Obituary
KELLER, JESSICA NICOLE VENTERS born October 11, 1988, left us suddenly on May 5, 2014. She is survived by her precious 2 year old daughter, Noelle Marie Keller; husband, Michael Keller; parents, Tracy Venters and Jeff Venters, and her brother Chase Venters, whom she cherished dearly. She is also survived by numerous extended family members and friends. Born and educated in Plano, she was accepted into the gifted-and-talented program at an early age. Given her interest in music, she learned piano, flute and guitar. Jessica’s interests also spanned Dance, Soccer, Basketball, and Odyssey of the Mind. She enjoyed acting and achieved leading roles in productions at the Plano Children’s Theatre. She graduated from a charter high school as Valedictorian of her class, winning a full 4-year scholarship to Texas Woman’s University where she studied nutrition. She later trained to become a yoga instructor. Jessica was a loving wife and mother, passionate about raising her young daughter. She was an exquisite chef and enjoyed entertaining. Jessica had lifelong passion and intellectual curiosity. She was well read; her depth-of-knowledge spanned nearly any subject and she enjoyed engaging conversations. However, she never lost her ability to entertain those around her with her wry sense of humor and occasional practical jokes. Soar on our beautiful angel. Our hearts ache, yet we will never forget the indelible impressions and cherished memories you left us with. We will forever miss your caring spirit and radiant smile. You were a bright shining star who left us way too soon; some lights are just too bright to burn forever. A celebration of Jessica’s life will commence on Saturday, May 10, at 11:00 AM at Restland Memorial Chapel.
