November 23, 2023
Pamela J. Keller, 71, of Drums, PA, passed away on Thursday, November 23, 2023, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Born in Elizabethtown, she was the daughter of the late Wesley R. and Ellen (Gantz) Espenshade. Pam was the loving and devoted wife of Wesley C. Keller, and together they celebrated 50 years of marriage.
Pam’s vibrant life was marked by her diverse career and passions. As a licensed cosmetologist, flight attendant, business owner, and Enterprise Car Rentals driver, she embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and dedication. Pam’s entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly when she owned her own frozen yogurt business.
She loved to travel, and as a snowbird at heart, she cherished the seasonal migration between their residence in PA and their Florida home in Bonita Springs, where she enjoyed riding her bike and being with friends. In both places, she relished time shopping, taking trips to casinos, and doing jigsaw puzzles. No matter what she was doing, she was always known for her great sense of style.
Pam’s culinary talents were unmatched, and her love for cooking brought family and friends together often. She was known for hosting warm gatherings, including picnics and festive holiday celebrations. Above all, Pam treasured her family, and her greatest joy was found in the company of her adored grandchildren, Abigail, Wesley, Charles, and Raymond.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Wesley, and her daughters: Monica A. Large, wife of Christopher, of Maywood, NJ, and Greta E. Rosler, wife of Shawn, of Bloomsburg. Pam leaves a lasting legacy through her four grandchildren: Abigail, Wesley, Charles, and Raymond. She is also survived by her siblings: Ronald Espenshade (Karen), Joel Espenshade (Liz), Mike Espenshade (Carol), Jill DeMarco, and Kristine Forry (Bryan), as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543, on Friday, December 1, 2023 from 10 AM to 11 AM. A Memorial Service will follow at 11 AM, with interment to Longenecker Reformed Mennonite Cemetery, Lancaster.
Pam’s warmth, kindness, and love will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. May she rest in eternal peace.

I’m sorry I lost touch with this wonderful woman. She was my best friend when I was part of the Ski Club at the river. I have so many great memories of those days. I am so sorry Wes.

Pam, my dear friend and close neighbor in Florida, will dearly be missed by me. There wasn’t a time in our conversations that laughter wasn’t shared between the two of us. Pam was a dear soul and a warm, kind hearted woman. If I ever needed anything I could always rely on Pam to be there for me.
Pam loved her husband, her children and grandchildren so much. She shared great stories of her family with me.
I will miss you so much Pam. You are gone too soon‼️
Love,
Anita
