Christine Keeley

We're rolling the dice on the usual somber tone to share the news that Chris Keeley, our beloved high roller in the casino of life, cashed in her coins for a seat at the eternal slot machine on February 28, 2024. Born on a lucky November 9, 1949, in Vineland, New Jersey, to Anthony and Regina Grillo, Chris bet it all and hit the jackpot with a life filled with love of her husband, Joe, and her three girls.

Leaving behind a winning hand of family members, Chris is cheered on by her daughters Jennifer Boninfante (Nicholas), Meredith Keeley, and Colleen Keeley; her grandkids Santino, Gianna, Declan, and her furry grandbabies, Luna and Aiden; her sister Connie Sinnk (Larry), her brother Tony Grillo (Jill), and nephews and nieces, David, Tony, Donna, and Victoria.

Chris was a beachcomber by day and a bingo queen by night. She leaves behind a legacy of laughter and a paw-shaped hole in the heart of her fur baby, Baby. If life is a game, Chris played hers with a full deck and left us all with more than a few wild cards to remember her by.

She was greeted at the pearly gates by her husband of 50 years, Joseph Keeley, who no doubt said, "What took you so long, did you bring the good chips with you?"
