Emilee Bosworth Kealer of Peoria, Arizona, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family after a courageous three-and-a-half year battle with kidney cancer.

Emilee was born September 6, 1966 in Downey, Idaho. She was the sixth of eight children to Bryan and Leoda Bosworth. Emilee spent most of her life in the Arizona sun where she attended Maryvale High School and graduated in May of 1984.

Emilee married her high school sweetheart, Keith Alan Kealer Jr. on October 14th 1989. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Mesa Arizona Temple on June 29th 1991. Together, Emilee and Keith built a life centered on love, faith, and family. Her pride and joy was being a mother to her five children; Stephanie (John), Courtney, Trey (Kristen), Joshua and Bryce (Abbie) and a Grammy to her seven grandchildren; Jackson, Lincoln, Reagan, Navy, Quade, Quin and Remi. She truly lived for her grandbabies.

Creative and generous by nature, Emilee loved crafting and making things by hand. She delighted in celebrating and serving others and treasured time spent traveling to visit family. In recent years, she especially loved spending time on the beaches of Hawaii.

Emilee’s faith in Jesus Christ was a very important part of her life. She faithfully served in her church, and especially loved working with the Primary children and “her” Young Women. For the last two years of her life, Emilee served as an office service missionary in the Arizona Phoenix Mission. She loved serving alongside fellow senior missionaries, however, the young missionaries she supported held a special place in her heart. Her testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was unwavering.

Emilee embraced life with such strength and always had a positive outlook on life no matter what challenges she faced. More often than not, Emilee put others before herself. She always trusted in her Heavenly Father and his plan.

Emilee is survived by her loving husband, children, grandchildren, and mother. She was preceded in death by her father.
