Kelly Hayes

Kelly Joan Hayes was a proud Irish woman through and through—full of heart, humor, and a gift for bringing people together. She was the kind of person who could turn any room into a celebration, and any gathering into a memory.

Kelly was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Joan Marcina Hayes and Donald Patrick Hayes, and by her brother, Donald James Hayes.

She is survived by her six sisters: Charmain Joan Hayes-Norman, Maureen Francis O’Sullivan, Susan Helen Wurzer, Colleen Evelyn Walsh, Kathleen Marcina Lacy, and Bridget Marie Fendler, as well as a cherished circle of nieces and nephews who adored her.

Kelly’s greatest joy was her family. She was the proud mother of her daughter, Teagen Frances Hayes, and a loving “bonus mom” to Kathryn Marie Hayes, whom she cared for as her own. She is also survived by her son-in-law, Daniel Andrich.

Kelly was a devoted grandmother to Flora Frances Andrich, who brought her endless pride and joy. Her second granddaughter, Maeve Kathryn Andrich, was born three days after Kelly’s passing—a bittersweet reminder that love and life continue, and that Kelly’s presence will always be woven into the family she adored.

Kelly will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her family will carry her spirit forward—in their stories, their laughter, and the love she gave so freely.
