Keith Meckley Obituary

Keith F. Meckley

Age 53, of Havertown, PA, died on Wednesday, October 24, 2012, in his home. He was born in Wilmington, DE, and attended Brandywine High School, Widener University and Delaware County Community College.

Keith was an awesome nurse and a beloved co-worker at Methodist and Delaware County Memorial Hospitals. Most of his working career was in sales, but more recently he found his true calling as an O.R. nurse.

He is survived by his endearing wife, Cindy; his loving children, Ryan and Kaitlyn; his parents, Janet and Fred; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Debbie and Steve McSweeney, Susan and Skeet Small, Joan and Sean; and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Keith enjoyed and loved his surf fishing license, where he drove his truck and set up camp on Cape Henlopen State Park, DE. This is where Keith, Cindy, Ryan, Kate and their dog Pete found their true Nirvana.

Visitation will be held at Bringhurst Funeral Home at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, 225 Belmont Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, Monday, October 29, from 2-3:30 pm with the funeral service immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Seeing Eye, Inc. 10 Washington Valley Road, P.O. Box 375, Morristown, NJ 07963 or [email protected]
