Grace Elizabeth Kellner was granted her Angel wings on January 14, 2018. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in Keller, Texas. She was a long time resident of Bossier City, until she moved to Keller, TX to be with her daughter and her family; four and a half years ago.
A celebration of life visitation will be held at Hill Crest Memorial Funeral Home, on January 22, 2018 from 10am until 11am. A funeral service officiated by Pastor Siegfried Kunz will follow the visitation. All family and friends are invited to Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2565 Airline Drive, Bossier City, LA. Following funeral proceedings for a meal and fellowship.
Grace was born to August and Augusta Wilsmann on April 14, 1924, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. She met the love of her life, Victor J. Kellner, while living in Two Rivers. She remained married to Vic for forty years, until his passing in January 2003.
Grace was a member of Immanuel Church for fifty years and considered the church her second family. She also belonged to The Officer Wives Club, Gourmet Club, Garden Club, and volunteered at the Thrift Shop on Barksdale AFB, for over twenty years. She also loved to play bridge and did so, as much as possible.
Grace is preceded in death by her husband retired Lt Colonel Victor J. Kellner, parents August and Augusta Wilsmann, Brother Roger Wilsmann, and sister Myrtle Krey. Grace is survived by son Terry Kellner and family, daughter Cheryl Bobbitt and her husband, Tom Bobbitt, their son Brad Bobbitt, his wife Raven Bobbitt and their son Eli Bobbitt, and several nieces and nephews.
Grace loved spending time with her family and especially her Great Grandson Eli. They loved each other immensely. She missed her Bossier City friends dearly when she moved to Keller, but adjusted to her new home quickly. Grace will be missed, but always in our thoughts and prayers.

When I moved here in 1995 Grace introduced me to the area----garden club, antiques group, bridge, thrift shop, etc. Grace has left many fun and unforgettable memories. My life is more enriched for having known her.

The Final Salute
Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Mrs. Grace Elizabeth Kellner a loving U.S. Air Force wife who provided dedicate service to her country, her community and her family. To her family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Grace. To Grace it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank her for her devotion to her husband, her family, the U.S. Air Force and her country. Only a military wife knows the difficulties and great sacrifices associated with rearing a military family that relocated frequently and often included long separations from the one they loved most and anxious moments of concern for their safety. Grace, we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Grace's family and loved ones.
