Sean A. Kelly, age 66, passed away on July 20, 2026. He was the beloved son of the late John and Philomena (n\u00e9e McAllister) Kelly.<\/p>\n
Sean is survived by his loving wife, Patricia C. (n\u00e9e Coyle) Kelly; his daughter, Victoria McAnespy (Eoin); his cherished grandchildren, Niadh and Shea; his sister, Collette Donohue (Fintan); and many adoring nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n
Sean was born in Lissan, County Tyrone, Ireland. He immigrated to the Philadelphia area over 40 years ago where he met his wife, Patricia. He found great joy in his work as the owner of a landscaping business. He loved planting flowers and trees, caring for lawns, and creating beautiful outdoor spaces for others to enjoy. His hard work, passion, and love of nature will live on in the beauty he helped bring into the world.<\/p>\n
A devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan, he found great joy in cheering on his team and never missed the chance to watch a game on television. As he often said, \u201cGo Birds!\u201d<\/p>\n
