Patricia Grier Keiss

Patricia G. “Pat” Keiss (nee Grier), age 77, of Newtown Square, PA, passed away on August 7, 2025. Born in Upper Darby, PA, she was the daughter of the late Thelma (nee Leopold) and J. Stewart Grier.

A proud graduate of Upper Darby High School, Patricia began her professional journey at First Pennsylvania Bank in Center City. However, as her life progressed and she welcomed the joys of motherhood, she chose to dedicate herself fully to her children, a decision she embraced wholeheartedly. 

Pat's passions were summers spent in Ocean City, New Jersey and cooking for family holidays. A gentle soul, she found great delight in the simple pleasures of life, including her fondness for squirrels, whom she adored watching during peaceful moments in nature.Her legacy, one defined by unconditional love and endless support, will forever resonate in the lives of those fortunate enough to call her family.

Pat was the beloved wife of Alfred Keiss for 54 years; loving mother of Michelle Keiss Andress (Christopher) and Maureen Keiss; adoring grandmother of Natalie, Michael, and Avery.

Services and Interment are Private.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Pat’s name to Pennsylvania SPCA, 350 E. Erie Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19134, pspca.org/donate, would be appreciated.
