Kathleen H. Kelly passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at her residence in Audubon, PA after bravely battling metastatic breast cancer.  She was 80 years old, born on June 19, 1941 to the late Joseph V. Garrison and Margaret M. (Craig) Hoch in Philadelphia, PA.

She worked many years at ACME Markets (UFCW Local 1776) and then at the business office of the Montgomery County Community College before retiring.  A charitable person, she donated her time and money to various organizations including Action AIDS, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the ASPCA.  She volunteered as a cuddler in the NICU at Einstein Montgomery Hospital, and assisted at the soup kitchen at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Norristown, PA.  In her spare time, she enjoyed playing cards and Mahjong with her friends at Shannondell.  Kathleen and her husband of 51 years, Joe, loved traveling and spending time at the casino, but most of all she enjoyed the time she shared with her family, especially her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her beloved cat, Pookie.

Kathleen is survived by her children, Kathy (John) Murtin, Tina (Paul) Romberger, Joe (Donna) Kelly, Jocelynn Keidel; grandchildren Christopher (Melissa), Katie (Paul), Alex, Kelly (Kevin), Zach, Sean, Bryan, Brandon, Ben, Morgan; great-grandchildren Jackson, Brody, and one due in February of 2022; sisters Peggy Foti, Rosemary Hering; a brother Robert Garrison; a sister-in-law Peggy (Bob) Linda; a brother-in-law Gene Brennan; and many other family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph F. Kelly, Sr., a son Brian J. Kelly, a brother Joseph Garrison, and a sister Debi Ryan.
