It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Patrick “Pat” Kelley at the age of 77.
Pat died peacefully at his home surrounded by loved ones on September 11, 2023. He was born on September 9, 1946 in Norristown, PA. Pat was a hardworking, kind-hearted, and loyal person who loved his grandchildren dearly. He was a talented carpenter, especially when it came to building gingerbread houses at Christmastime for one of his favorite elementary school teachers. After he retired as a Certified Contractor, he began volunteering at his grandchildren’s elementary school. He was a wonderful person to be around and the student’s adored him and he adored them. They had a lot of laughs and they even got him interested in using the computer.
He enjoyed the simple things in life, like fishing and hunting, growing tomatoes and various flowers, watching football, and most of all spending time with his family.
Pat was predeceased by his parents, David and Florence Kelley, his sister Janice Kelley, and the love of his life, Dale Ann (Overdorf) Kelley. He is survived by his son, Shaun (Kate) Kelley; daughter, Janice (Matt) Zeiger; his sister Joan (Joe) Giambrone; 4 grandchildren, David, Lorelei, Elizabeth, and Logan; and many nieces and nephews. He was affectionately known as Pop. He was dearly loved by all who knew him and left an imprint on his family that will never be forgotten.
