Moira Anne Kelsey

Moira Teague Kelsey passed away suddenly in her home in Jacksonville, Florida where she resided over the past two years. A former resident of Gt. Barrington, Moira was the daughter of her late parents Frank and Claire (Roberts) Teague and was born locally at Fairview Hospital. Moira attended local schools graduating from Monument Mountain Regional. She then attended Boston College where she received her BS in Nursing and began her nursing career at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. After marriage, she relocated to Columbus, Ohio where she worked at Ohio State University Medical Center and worked in their cardiac care unit. At OSU, she received her Masters degree in Exercise Physiology. Later in her career at OSU, she became the Director of Palliative Care where she was instrumental in establishing its Hospice program. Moira had a long and successful nursing career where she was able to help many patients and assist her medical peers. Upon retirement Moira moved to Jacksonville to live near her cousins Lisa Frison, and Terri Anne and Dan Leahy who were most helpful in caring for Moira when she experienced many health issues. Her family will remember her as a caring, fun-loving person who was dedicated to her nursing profession. Along with dozens of other cousins, Moira leaves behind her four brothers Frank (Dee) of Hingham, Ma., Terry (Dana) of Brookline, Ma., Patrick (Fran) of New Lebanon, NY, and Sean (Nancy) Teague of Scituate, Ma. Moira was pre-deceased by her only son Michael who passed away in 2017. A private memorial service will be held with her family in Florida.
