Connie Ranea

Keeler

Connie Ranea Ham Keeler, also known as Conrad or Nana, passed from this life on August 10, 2025, at the age of 65. She was born July 21, 1960, in Norman, Oklahoma, and grew up in Washington. She is survived by her husband, Joe Keeler, from Dibble. She is also survived by her three sons Derik Keith, his wife Crystal, Doug Keeler and Bronwyn and Matt Keeler, and his wife Jennifer. Her mother, Luvean Ham, sister Dana Smith and her husband Steve, brother Kent Ham and his wife Robin, brother Todd Ham and his wife Laura.

Connie was a proud grandmother and is also survived by her grandsons, Bodey, Jackson, Devan, Jett, and Colin. She also leaves behind two beautiful granddaughters, Zoe and Abbey.

Connie was a wife, mother, sister, friend, and grandmother. She was also one of the hardest-working individuals around.  Over the years Connie and Joe built many different businesses together but most of the fondest memories came from watermelon farming.  Few could throw a watermelon quite like Connie. Here was a woman who was equal parts grit and glam. Not afraid to get her hands dirty. She was known as a vibrant, confident well put together woman.  All the while keeping everyone else in line and never losing her wit. Connie had a big personality, an unforgettably contagious laugh, and a smile that stole the room.  Connie was a fun-spirited person who was always ready to work hard and play hard, and that is a lesson that she instilled in her children.

Joe and Connie were a package deal. She didn't let Joe out of her sight for 42 years. They did everything together. Ran businesses, raised children, and loved their grandchildren. They were known for having the kind of love and relationship that sets the bar, inspiring others who knew them to try and understand the trick. A real love story. Some of her favorite things started with Joe. They were inseparable. Later she discovered her love for the water, whether it was the lake or the beach. Sand and sun! She and Joe would dance and play in the sun until they looked like a couple of leatherbacks. Tank tops and flip flops or a bikini is what she became known for.

Connie's favorite thing in this world, besides Joe, was being a Nana. She worked very hard at teaching the grandkids to be as ornery and witty as possible.

The grandkids could do no wrong, and Nana was quick to let everyone know about it. She enjoyed spoiling them all and looked forward to the chance to do so. She never wanted any of them to be left out. When sharing stories about each and every one of them she always sounded like their biggest fan.

Connie lived life on her own terms, unapologetically herself and just the right amount of "extra" to make the world more interesting. "Connie clean" was a standard the rest of us were not going to accomplish. It wasn't just spotless—it was museum-level perfection. It didn't stop at cleaning; if Connie did it, it was done right. And by "right," we mean her way. (The sooner you figured that out, the smoother life went.)

Ornery as the day is long, she was also fiercely loyal, endlessly loving, and unstoppable when she set her mind to something. That grit carried her through everything, right up to her last day.

The love Connie had for her family and her desire to fight for one more day, hour, or minute with them was clearly above and beyond. The world is quieter without her, though we're pretty sure she's still keeping an eye on things.
