Baptized into the hope of Christ’s Resurrection Monday, November 18, 2019.
Beloved wife of the late William Bernard Kelly; loving mother of Karolyn (John) Regan and Kay Kelly; dearest grandmother of Kelly (David Vaught) and Shawn Regan; dearest sister of Margaret (the late Eugene) Felder and the late James (surviving Marianne) Finn; dear aunt, great aunt, cousin and friend.
Patricia graduated from St. John the Baptist High School in 1949 and then began working for the Wabash Railroad as a stenographer until she married William in 1959. They were long time residents of St. Louis Hills. After having children, she decided to be a stay at home mom.
Patricia loved the beaches of Florida where she took many trips with her friends and then family. She enjoyed spending time with family, listening to music, dining out and outings with her women’s club of over 70 years. It was not unusual for her to attend more than one St. Patrick’s Day celebration and German Fest. Although, her favorite past time was watching Cardinal baseball and discussing the outcome of each game and she was fortunate to have been part of 10 Cardinal World Series championships in her life time. With her grandchildren she frequently visited Plano, Texas, Suson Park, the Zoo, Grant’s Farm, Disney World, St. Louis Science Center, Purina Farms, and Powder Valley. And, most recently she was one of the first guests on the St. Louis Wheel at Union Station.
