Kathleen (Kay) Kelly

Dec 31, 2007

On December 31st, 2007 our Society lost a precious soul ~ Kathleen (Kay) Kelly (nee Joyce) was called home to the Father. Kay had been

in declining health for some years but for those UIS members who "knew her when" it was a sad ending to the year. Kay was a long- time true friend and dedicated member of the United Irish Societies of Montreal for many years. Many will remember her presence and her behind-the-scenes assistance to her late husband (Ed "Bunny" Kelly) who held the position of Director of Organization for many, many years. Kay was loved by all the old members in those early days we all shared love and friendship together in the Society. Fun times and happy memories of Kay with her beautiful Irish smile, big blue eyes and the face of a Colleen right from the Emerald Isle. To know Kay was a gift from God to all who came across her path in life. "May she be held safely in the palm of God's hand"!
