Patrick Connelly Obituary

CONNELLY Patrick E. Connelly, Sr. entered into Heaven on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at the age of 82. Beloved husband of Betty Kirwin Connelly for 60 years. Father of Patrick E. Connelly, Jr., Eileen Connelly Roth (Henry) and Kenneth J. Connelly, Sr. (Debra). Grandfather of Alan "A.J.", Alicia and Kenneth Jr. Great grandfather of Skyler, Adrienne and Bella. Son of the late L. M. Ferguson Connelly and O. J. Connelly. Brother of Jack Connelly, Jayne Fischer and the late William Connelly. Mr. Connelly was retired from Dupont. After retiring, he developed artistic abilities, primarily oil paintings. He also had an uncanny ability to recall family and friends he came in contact with, including their names and birthdays, sometimes even the day of the week they were born on. He was a kind and loving man who will be deeply missed. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass on Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 1:30 pm at Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive in Metairie. Visitation will begin at 11:30 am. Interment will be in Garden of Memories Cemetery. The online guestbook is available at www.gardenofmemoriesfuneralhome.com.

Uncle Pat,
What will I do without you. The rides to see where the family grew up, nectar cream snow cones, Parkway Bakery fully dressed with ketchup, birthday calls. I loved you so much and miss you already. I know you're watching, I won't ever forget you; you will always be my Uncle Pat.
I love you,
Terry Dale

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I worked with Pat for many years at DuPont. He was a true asset to the organization. We solved a lot of problems together, both for the plant and for the world at large. I am happy that I had the chance to know him.

I just thought about it... May 24th was Pat's mother's 115th birthday... I wonder if he told her "Happy Birthday" in person?

Few people in this world can claim to be as kind and loving as Uncle Pat. Though I rarely got so see the N.O. family, I always looked forward to Uncle Pat's call on my birthday! I will always have many fond memories of this remarkable man. Jodi and I are both thinking of you, Aunt Betty, and the whole Connelly family.

I wish I could have spent more time with my brother... He was a good person and I'm sure his new residence is in heaven... My condolences to Betty... We're all going to miss him, but not as much as she will...
