SPRINGFIELD — Gayle E. Kelleher, 72, of Springfield, passed away Monday morning, December 21, 2020, at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton.
Gayle was born in Bellefontaine on January 21, 1948, to the late E. Glenn and Opal M. (Mattox) Krugh. She was also preceded in death by her brother Harry G. Krugh.
Gayle is survived by her husband Leo Kelleher, whom she married on March 29, 1997. She is also survived by sisters Janis Krugh and Marcia Krugh, both of DeGraff; a sister-in-law Barbara Krugh of Maplewood; three nieces: Susan (Mark) Sadauskas, Melanie (Kenneth) Wolf, and Jennifer (Greg) Woolley; six great-nieces and great-nephews: Gabrielle, Grace, and Tristan Woolley, Max Sadauskas, Ava and Hannah Wolf; three stepdaughters: Kelly (Randy) Knotts, Jerri (John) Nelson, and Karrie Hosler; and 14 step-grandchildren.
