Ann Marie Kehan

In Loving Memory of Ann Marie McCollum Kehan
June 30, 1940 – October 1, 2026

Ann Marie McCollum Kehan, a devoted mother, cherished friend, and faithful servant of God, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2026, at the age of 86. Surrounded by the love of her family, she returned to her heavenly home after a period of declining health over the last few years, which she faced with immense grace, dignity, and quiet resilience.

Born to the late Ann Murphy McCollum and Joseph McCollum, and sibling to her late brother, John McCollum, Ann Marie lived a life deeply rooted in her Catholic faith and an unwavering devotion to those she loved. She was a woman of deep prayer whose life was a living testament to kindness, charity, and grace.

Her greatest joy was found in the comfort of home and the steady rhythm of her daily routines. As a mother of four, she created a peaceful, orderly household where her family always knew they were cared for. Ann Marie was a homebody at heart — someone who cherished familiar surroundings, quiet moments, and the simple pleasures of life. She loved to shop, especially her beloved QVC, and she had a lifelong fondness for sweet treats. She preferred small, meaningful gatherings over large events and valued the closeness of one‑on‑one time. Above all, she adored her grandchildren and the family pets, finding deep joy in their presence and companionship.

Though her health declined in her later years, her spirit remained unbroken. She continued to find comfort in her daily prayers and found joy in the simple blessings of life, especially when surrounded by the people she cherished most.

She is reunited in Heaven with her husband, John F. Kehan, Jr., and her parents, Ann and Joseph, as well as the many relatives who went before her.

Her legacy of faith and love lives on through her four children: Maureen T. Kehan, Colleen Kehan Quinn (Craig Quinn), Joanne Kehan Carr (Dan Carr Jr.), and John F. Kehan III. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren, John Quinn, Joseph Quinn, Reilly Carr, and Daniel Carr III; and a community of much loved extended family and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

May God’s perpetual light shine upon her, and may she dwell in His peace forever.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in her honor on Wednesday, October 7 at 11:00 am at Nativity of Our Lord Church, located at 605 West Street Road, Warminster, PA. A visitation will be held prior to the Mass beginning at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ann Marie’s memory to Nativity of Our Lord Church.
