Patricia E. Keleher

Patricia E. Keleher, age 74, peacefully passed away on Friday, February 6, 2026, at Ellis Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Norwood, Massachusetts. She was born in Boston on May 9, 1951, to Herbert J. and Catherine M. (Dolan) Keleher. Pat grew up in Norwood, attending Saint Catherine's Elementary School before graduating from Norwood High School with the Class of 1969.

After high school, Pat started working for the New England Telephone Company, where she contributed in various roles, including the accounts receivable department. In the 1980s, she moved on to Lucent Technologies, bringing her skills to their accounts receivable office. Once she settled into her new job, Pat made her home in Walpole at Parkview Apartments, enjoying everything the town had to offer. She found her spiritual home at Blessed Sacrament Church, where she was actively involved—serving as a Eucharistic Minister, participating in the handbell choir, and helping out at many funerals over the years. Living right in the heart of Walpole had its perks, but nothing beat living just across the street from the town pool! Pat spent countless hours swimming there, getting her laps in and staying active.

Pat loved staying busy her whole life. Even after retiring from Lucent in 1999, she kept her schedule full. She enjoyed connecting with friends at the Walpole Senior Center, often playing Pokeno. As a member of the Wacky Women Wanderers travel group, she looked forward to many exciting adventures with some of her closest friends. Most of all, Pat cherished time with her family—gathering together for holidays, sharing good laughs, and making memories that meant the world to her.

Devoted daughter of the late Herbert J. and Catherine M. (Dolan) Keleher.

Loving sister of Thomas D Keleher and his wife, Janice, of Needham, Lorraine M Laumeyer-McBride and her husband, Thomas, of Mystic, Connecticut, Regina C. Hebner and her husband, Rob, of Norwood, and Catherine Keleher-Bew of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
