Patricia Keltner

Patricia "Patty" Caroline Keltner, 62, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Born on June 29, 1963, to John Lloyd and Mary Goodwin, Patty was a lifelong resident of Springfield and a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend.

Patty was known for her fun-loving spirit, quick sense of humor, and unwavering devotion to her family. She was always present for the moments that mattered most—whether cheering from the stands at a football game, attending band competitions, supporting her children's activities, or simply being available whenever she was needed. Her greatest joy in life was being a mom and, later, a proud grandmother known affectionately as Nan.

Patty never met a stranger and had a way of making every gathering a little brighter. She loved spending time on the porch visiting with family and friends, sharing stories, laughter, and enjoying life's simple moments. No matter where she was or what she was doing, Patty knew how to have a good time and made sure those around her did too. Her warmth, kindness, and joyful presence left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and 16 siblings including Connie Sue Goodwin and Dale Goodwin.

She leaves behind her loving children, Hilery O'Guinn, Melissa Massey, Scott Keltner, and Aaron Keltner; her cherished grandchildren, Kaylee, EJ, Nathan, William, Nevaeh, Daisy, Anthony, Jacob, Drew, Jason, Taylor, and Mia; her great-grandson, Jaxson; one great-grandchild on the way; and 3 of her 19 siblings, Harley Goodwin, Sissy Goodwin and Steven Goodwin.

Patty's love, laughter, and steadfast presence will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services, 2026 W. Woodland Street, Springfield, Missouri 65807.
