The Kellys were the wonderful next-door neighbors of the Turners for almost 15 years on the 5300 block of Camac Street of the Logan neighborhood in Noth Philadelphia in the 60’s and 70’s. We spent hundreds of hours in each others houses and on our stoops and porches of this teeming, close-knit parish.
Maureen was the matriarch, and a generous, loving mother, and friend. Always with a smile and willing to share, when my Mom went back to work, she became almost a second mother to me (and was always so for much of the neighborhood). On a couple occassions she even came to Holy Child grade school to bring me things i had forgotten or needed. Once, when i wet my pants in 2nd or 3rd grade, she came to school with a fresh change of clothes for me and helped me get changed. She was a terrific lady, and a model caring, Catholic neighbor.
Rest in Peace.
