Barbara Jean (Key) Eller

On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, Barbara Jean Eller, 80, of Greensboro, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She was a devoted Christian and member of Buchanan Baptist Church for many years. The light of Jesus shined through her in every aspect of her life. She was born in Guilford County, North Carolina on July 2, 1943. She graduated from Bessemer High School class of 1961. Her occupations consisted of being a hairdresser and doll maker.
