Patricia B. Kelly, age 88, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2026, at MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Patricia grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts, where she developed the strong 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.
She 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 cherished grandchildren Julia Kelly, Meaghan Fernandes, Angela Kelly, Nolan Fernandes, Sean Kelly, and Samantha Kelly. She is also lovingly remembered by her grand-dog, Rosie.
Known affectionately as “Nana” by her grandchildren, Patricia was a constant and devoted presence in their lives. She rarely missed a baseball game, soccer game, musical, play, or school accomplishment, and she took great pride in celebrating each milestone alongside them. Family was the center of her world, and she cherished every opportunity to be together.
Patricia especially loved telling stories about her family and spending time going out to eat with the people she cared about most. These were moments she truly treasured.
