Jean was born July 3,1935 in Kansas City, Kansas and remained a lifelong resident. Her love of music and singing began early when she started singing Slovenian and Latin hymns in grade school at Holy Family School. Her passion grew when she attended Ward High School and participated in many plays and musicals. It was in high school where she met her future husband John J. Keller who was also an avid singer, performer and athlete at Ward.

Jean and John spent many years volunteering at Holy Family Church and its various organizations including being members of the popular Don Lipovac Booster Club. Travelling with the band was important to them as they enjoyed both the music and visiting new places. John passed in 2004 after a bout with cancer, causing Jean to become even more involved with the Church as its Choir Director.
