1937 - 2025
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Patricia was raised in Watertown, where she developed the deep-rooted family values that guided her throughout her life. She was the beloved wife of the late Thomas Kelly, Sr., and the devoted mother of the late Thomas Kelly, Jr., roles she held with unwavering love and pride.
Patricia is survived by her children Erin Kelly of Grafton, Darren Kelly of California, and Ryan Kelly and his wife Lisa of Millbury; her daughter-in-law Carolyn Kelly; and her treasured grandchildren Julia Kelly, Meaghan Fernandes, Angela Kelly, Nolan Fernandes, Sean Kelly, and Samantha Kelly. She is also lovingly remembered by her grand-dog, Rosie, who brought her great joy.
Affectionately known as “Nana”, Patricia was a constant presence in her grandchildren’s lives. She rarely missed a baseball game, soccer game, musical, play, or school accomplishment, and she took great pride in celebrating every milestone, big or small. Family was always her priority, and time spent together was what she valued most.
Patricia had a special love for storytelling and enjoyed spending time going out to eat with the people she cared about most, moments she truly cherished and looked forward to.
