Hayley Anne O'Keefe

In Loving Memory of Hayley Anne O'Keefe

With heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our beloved girl last Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at the age of 33. She was an old soul with a quick wit, embodying grace, strength, and inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her life was a testament to resilience and courage, living with a spirit that transcended challenges. With heaven-sent strength, she navigated life's trials with unwavering determination and a graceful heart that left an unforgettable impression on everyone she knew.

Her deep love shined brightest with those closest to her.  Cherished family and friends, stood by her side every day and in every way. Hayley found solace and companionship in her faithful dogs throughout her life, Muggsy, Roxy, Sheva and Annie, who never left her side.

She delighted in the best pleasures of life—finding joy in the company of loved ones, exploring new destinations through travel, cooking in the kitchen...and as we all know she loved a good shopping spree.

Throughout her journey, she was blessed to receive the dedicated care of exceptional medical professionals, including those at CHOP, NIH, and Robert Wood Johnson. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr. Guo and Dr. Behrens, whose unwavering dedication and compassion enriched her life beyond belief. 

Hayley is now reunited with loved ones who preceded her in death, including her paternal grandparents, John and Annette O'Keefe, Aunt Karen Farrell, Uncle Bill O'Keefe, and maternal grandfather Paul Farrell. She leaves behind a legacy of love and strength, survived by her parents, Colleen and Tom O'Keefe, her loving siblings Daniel O'Keefe, Kelly O'Keefe and Brian O'Keefe, her grandmother  Cecilia Farrell and all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins who cherished her deeply.

Now that she is soaring above with the angels, fly free our dear Hayley, until we meet again. Rest in peace, knowing that you are dearly loved and forever remembered.
