Obituary for Anna Leigh Child (Keeler)

 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Leigh Child (Keeler), born on February 13, 1980, in Seattle, Washington. Anna departed from this world on March 24, 2026, in Hoodsport, Washington, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth.

Anna was the beloved daughter of Shari Carlstrom Santhuff and the late Dennis V. Keeler. She cherished her family, including her step-father William D. Santhuff and her sons, Kahlin Lloyd and Robert Child Jr. Anna is also survived by her brothers Evan Keeler, Frederick R.J. Smith (Rob), Cullen Smith, and Bryce Gardella, alongside her step-brothers Ryan Santhuff, Scott Santhuff, Brett Santhuff, and Steven Santhuff, and numerous nieces and nephews who adored her.

A graduate of Shelton High School, Anna found her calling in the community she loved. She dedicated her career to making others feel valued and respected, as a cashier at Fred Meyer in Shelton, WA, and was a Administrative Assistant at Mason County Realty, and ultimately as the owner of South Sound Concrete LLC.

Anna's contributions to her workplace and community were immeasurable; her smile and laughter were contagious, creating an atmosphere of warmth wherever she went. Her spirit brought light and happiness into the lives of everyone she met, and her absence leaves a profound void in our hearts. Known for her kindness, generosity, loyalty, honesty, and ambition, Anna was a joyful, outgoing mother, daughter, sister, and friend to many. She had a passion for boating, arranging flowers, and cherished family gatherings, where she fostered connections and created precious memories. Arrangements for her memorial service are currently being planned for Shelton, Washington, with details forthcoming.

The family welcomes expressions of sympathy and condolences during this difficult time as they celebrate the beautiful life of Anna Leigh Child. She will forever be remembered and deeply missed by her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Anna's legacy of love and community spirit will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.

As we honor Anna, let us carry forward her legacy of kindness and generosity, making a difference in the lives of others just as she did. Her inspirational journey reminds us all to cherish every moment, love fiercely, and find joy in the simple pleasures of life.
