The Kelley Family

Anne Murphy and John Kelley were the parents of John, Peg, Artie, Anne, Julia and Jo. A tight-knit Irish-Catholic family living in the Boston area. The Kelleys were raised with the values of God, family and country. Today, the Kelley family has grown by leaps and bounds, spanning several generations and reaching beyond Massachusetts into all parts of the country and the world. But as diverse and distant as we all might be, the values that our parents and grand-parents gave to us still hold true. God, in whatever form each of us envision Him, is our source of inspiration and strength. Family, in good and bad times, have always been the touchstone of our lives. Country, in service and spirit we are loyal and proud. 

But, above all, we have been given the best gift of all - a great sense of humor!

This web site is an opportunity for all of us to stay in touch, and to pass along our history to our own children.
