Muriel (Miki) Keele, a beacon of unconditional love and matriarch to all who knew her, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, community, and selfless devotion. She was born in Horton, Kansas on December 24, 1925.
Miki was the cherished wife of the late Harvey Keele. They were united in marriage in Puma, Arizona on February 16, 1946. Over the years, their home became the neighborhood heart—a well-known, safe, and welcoming "hangout for all the kids" where every child was treated as her own. She was truly a mother and friend to everyone, extending the most unconditional love and acceptance to countless children and teens throughout the decades.
Professionally, Miki dedicated many years of service as office manager at Psychiatric Associates where her compassionate nature and strong work ethic were deeply valued by colleagues and patients alike.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Harvey; her dear son, Randall; her mother, Lilah Poston; her father, James Poston; sister, Marilynn (Teddy) Jones and brother, James (Jimmy) Poston.
Miki is survived by her loving children, Robyn Garlutzo; Gregory (Barbara) Keele; her adored grandchildren, Andrew Garlutzo, and Kyle, Larry, and Mitchell Keele as well as 10 great-grandchildren; and a vast, loving extended family, including many cherished nieces, nephews and family friends. Miki was an icon of love and beauty. She will forever be remembered for her generous heart, her timeless sense of style, and of course, her iconic French-tip nails.
A special thanks to her hospice team Jan, Kalia, Denise and Ruthie who took such special care of her.
A viewing will be held at Larkin Sunset Gardens at 1950 E Dimple Dell Rd (10600 So) Sandy Utah on November 24, 2025, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

I have very happy memories of our families growing up together, two houses away on Wanda Way, in Holladay, Ut. The happy times and fun we spent together as our children were growing up! It was always "Uncle Harvey" and "Aunt Miki", even though we weren't related...to my kids! Miki and I were like sisters; stuffing turkey's, making lasagna, popcorn balls and Christmas decorations!! I will always remember those days...I will always remember Miki...she was special !!
Miki was truly one of a kind. She had the most beautiful spirit that will continue to shine on in all who had the privilege of knowing her. The love and kindness she showed continuously will have a lasting impact on all of us. Her warmth made you feel like one of her own. She had a way of making you feel like the most special person in her life. Her legacy of love, acceptance, kindness and so many other attributes will live on in all of us. Miki, you truly were a shining light in our lives and we will forever be grateful for all of the talks and amazing times we shared together. We will miss you so much and you will always be in our hearts forever and ever. May you rest in perfect peace and watch over us. Mom, we love you!
