Mary Ann Gorry arrived in the United States from Kildare, Ireland. She married David Keleher, and in 1889 they moved their children from Kansas to Albuquerque. Mrs. Keleher was loved throughout Albuquerque and known for her involvement in the community. Upon her death in 1922 she was described as “A woman with a magnetic personality. Gifted in making and keeping friends, Mrs. Keleher had hosts of friends, whose friendship she retained until her death. Patient, gentle and generous, Mrs. Keleher was a noble mother and a wonderful friend.”
