My sincere sympathy to the Kelleher Family on Marie's passing. Marie and I met in 1970 as I began my community theatre career at Bay Path College. She was the one who strongly suggested that I be hired as the choreographer for the East Longmeadow Community Theatre production of "Funny Girl"...and that started me on my way, too! She was a kind person and very supportive...

To the Kelleher Family:
In deep sympathy. Marie was a joy to know...always with a smile and happy to see you greeting. A great nurse, who in a conservative environment pioneered, took hold and led the way in Cardiac Rehabilitation. There were few if any other who could have achieved and pioneered as she.

A wonderful lady; gracious, modest and loving. When she spoke, you paid attention because her words came from the heart and were poignant. Despite a difficult childhood, Marie lived her life without an ounce of resentment or hypocrisy, forgiving to a fault and the voice of reason during strife. A model of true Christian values. She will be sorely missed as a wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. God bless Marie O'Connell Kelleher.
