Kathleen Kehoe Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Riverdale-On-Hudson Funeral Home Inc on Oct. 8, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Kathleen Kehoe (Brennan), passed away on October 6, at the age of 69. Born and raised in Bronx, NY, Kathleen dedicated her life to helping others as a compassionate crisis counselor. Kathleen was also a devoted follower of the Catholic faith and a proud member of the Carmelite order. Though, she would argue, that caring and raising her children would be her biggest joy and accomplishment.

Adored daughter of the late Hugh and Kathleen Brennan. Caring sister to the late Michael and Margaret. Beloved mother to Jennifer (Marc) Sailor, Timothy (Suzana) Brennan, Caitlin (Patrick) McNamee and Kristin Kehoe. Loving grandmother of Connor, Liam, Finn, Nora, Hugh and the late Gregory. She loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and being surrounded by those she loved. An avid fan of Bravo reality TV and family vacations, she had a quick wit and was always down for her family's amusing shenanigans. Kathleen was a woman of quality and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
