Juliet Yvonne Lemmons Keller, 92, passed peacefully from this life on August 3, 2015. Juliet was born in Gaffney, South Carolina on February 26, 1923. She was the second of seven children born to Gothard Oliver Lemmons and Macie Wilson Lemmons. She graduated from Gaffney High School in 1940. In May of 1946, she married WC Keller, Jr.
She was a gifted artist, seamstress, crossstitcher, cook, and excellent with crafts. She was a leader in the Girl Scouts program for many years and worked with Cherokee County's special needs children. She loved helping 'her girls' achieve success. She was a lifelong member of Providence Baptist Church and worked with their GA program. She had an abiding love of her savior. Juliet dedicated her life to loving and serving her family and extended family. One of her proud achievements was to successfully walk across Charleston's Ravanel Bridge at age 84.
