Patricia “Patty” Keleher

Patricia "Patty" Moose Keleher, 60, passed away on March 25, 2026.

Born on August 16, 1965, in Morristown, New Jersey, Patty was the daughter of the late Kenneth Moose Sr. and Mary Pultz. She was raised in Bridgewater and formerly lived in Bernardsville before settling in Lebanon Township in 1988.

Patty earned her associate degree from Raritan Valley Community College. During the 1990s and early 2000s, she was a devoted stay-at-home mom, a time she fondly called "the best years of her life." She later worked as an administrative assistant at Norsal Distribution Associates, Inc. in High Bridge, where she dedicated more than 16 years of service. Her colleagues described her as the heart of the company.

She is survived by her loving children, Michael and Shannon; her daughter-in-law, Candice; and her cherished grandchildren, Tinley, Maelie, and Maclin. She is also survived by her former spouse, Kenneth Keleher; her beloved cousin, Katie Krause; her stepfather, Clifford Pultz; her brothers, Kenneth Moose Jr. and Thomas Moose; her sister, Maureen Moose; and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

In her spare time, Patty enjoyed trips to the Jersey Shore, gardening, and cooking. She loved spending time with her two dogs, Charlie and Lacey, and held a deep personal faith. She and her family were incredibly proud of her sobriety, and she would have celebrated 18 years on April 8. Above all, she treasured her role as "Grammy" to her grandchildren, who brought her endless joy.

Patty will be remembered as a kind and generous soul who never met a stranger. Her creativity, warmth, and insight touched the lives of many. She was deeply loved, and her presence will be profoundly missed.

A viewing will be held on Monday, April 6, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Bruce C. VanArsdale Funeral Home, 111 North Gaston Avenue, Somerville, NJ.

A Catholic mass will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at Immaculate Conception Church, 316 Old Allerton Road, Annandale, NJ. A private repast will follow.
