CLAYTON - Teresa Keeler was taken to heaven on Oct. 12, 2019, while surrounded by her family and friends. It was no surprise to her family that she passed away a hero saving three lives and giving her big beautiful heart away.
Teresa was born on Nov. 29, 1976, to Kimberly and Victor Keeler. She graduated from Padua Academy in Wilmington. Teresa gave birth to her only beautiful daughter Mariah Otero in 1993.
Teresa's number one priority was her family. She was dedicated, loyal, and loved her family very much, especially her daughter Mariah. Teresa was a hard worker, having two full-time jobs and maintaining her adorable house in Clayton always decorated for each season. Teresa loved being with friends and family and was the life of the party no matter where she went. People gravitated towards Teresa, with her petite stature and distinct raspy voice commanding the room. Teresa truly was loved by an abundance of people. She loved going to the beach each year and being the center of the annual family functions such as Christmas Eve, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and many more. Teresa also loved attending sporting events for her nieces and nephews, cheering them on from the stands.
Teresa is survived by her daughter, Mariah Otero; her mother, Kimberly Keeler and stepfather, Alvin Miller; her father, Victor Keeler and stepmother, Linda; her brother, Victor Keeler; her sister, Jennifer Bartsch and husband Doug; nephews, Ian Keeler and Tyler Bartsch; nieces, Jocelyn and Cassie Bartsch, and Isabella Keeler; her brother, Cody Keeler; her sister, Amber Keeler; and countless others who loved her and knew her as Teresa the Favorite.
