Elizabeth Ann (Jurek) Keeler
Elizabeth Ann (Jurek) Keeler, 38, of Eden Prairie, MN, has left our world on Tuesday, June 5, 2001.
Colon cancer has taken this vivacious, beautiful, young woman from her family and friends.
Beth graduated from Duluth Est High School in 1981 and the college of Scholastica in 1985. She was a member of Pax Christi Catholic Community, where she taught religious instruction. She was previously employed as a project manager at Blue Cross of Michigan, to Louise and George Buttala. The family moved to Hibbing where she graduated from Hibbing High School, and went on to complete her nursing degree from the College of Saint Scholastica at St. Mary's Hospital in Duluth. She married Edward Westerdahl in 1944, and they moved to Phoenix, Az., where her husband died in September 1945.
Her only child, Edward John Westerdahl, of Roseville was born in Phoenix in December 1945. She worked in hospitals in Phoenix, Az., Duluth, Golden Valley, and most recently in Moose Lake where she retired as director of education at Moose Lake State Hospital. Her passion for training nurses was exceeded only by her passion for serving her Lord and Savior through her ministry of helping her fellow man. She was very active within her church and community. She faithfully volunteered for 10 years in prison ministry at both the Minnesota Chapter of the American Cancer Society, and to the Crosier Fathers.
