Betty Louise Keller

In Loving Memory of Betty Louise Shrum Keller

July 23, 1932 – November 10, 2026

A Beautiful Life, A Loving Heart, and a Legacy That Will Bloom Forever

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the life of Betty Louise Shrum Keller, who passed away on November 10, 2026, in Mineral Wells, Texas, at the age of 94. Betty was born on July 23, 1932, in Mineral Wells, Texas, to D.M. and Fay Shrum.

Betty found happiness in life’s simplest blessings. She loved flowers, especially gardenias, and enjoyed cooking for those she loved. She was a familiar and friendly face throughout her years as a dedicated employee of Marr’s Short Stop and EZ Mart in Mineral Wells and Breckenridge. She also lovingly raised poodles for many years, earning her the affectionate nickname “The Poodle Lady.”

Above all, Betty’s greatest joy was her family. As a devoted mother of six, she was hardworking, strong, independent, and fiercely protective of her children. She worked tirelessly to provide for them, nurtured them with love, and taught them the importance of family. Her strength and determination laid the foundation for the beautiful family she leaves behind.

Lovingly known as “Granny” to her grandchildren and “Gran-Gran” to her great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, Betty was the heart of a family that grew to span five beautiful generations.

Betty was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Douglas Vernon Keller, along with her parents and siblings.

She is survived by her six beloved children: her only son, Douglas Keller of Mineral Wells; and five daughters, Tressa Hendrix and husband Randy of Lubbock; Verna Walker Warrington and Gary of Palo Pinto; Wilma Dunn and husband Bobby of College Station; Betty Dunn and husband Wade of Perrin; and Bobbie Harry of Palo Pinto.

Her beautiful legacy continues through her 11 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and 15 great-great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Baum-Carlock-Bumgardner Funeral Home in Mineral Wells, Texas. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the funeral home, with burial to follow at Woodland Park Cemetery in Mineral Wells, Texas.

Just like the gardenias she adored, the love Betty planted throughout her lifetime will continue to bloom for generations to come.

Ninety-four years. Five generations. A lifetime of love.

Forever our Mom. Forever our Granny. Forever our Gran-Gran.

Forever loved and never forgotten.
