Patricia A. "Pat" Dolan passed away after her long battle with cancer on August 11, 2023 at the age of 78. Proud mother of Jim Dolan (Amy) and Patrick Dolan (Stacey). Loving grandmother of JB, Katie, Sally, and PJ Dolan. Beloved daughter of the late Marie McGarrity and stepdaughter of Bill McGarrity. Dear sister of the late Elton J. Keeley, Jr.
She retired after 50 years of devoted service at the Cozen O'Connor law firm. Pat was proud to have played a foundational role in the firm's establishment and growth over those decades. Cozen O'Connor was more than a job for her. She cared deeply about her colleagues and the success of the firm.
Pat took great joy in her summers down the shore, especially with her many friends in Sea Isle City. Scrabble on the beach, lazy mornings and late breakfasts, and late-night card games. At home, she loved Sunday dinners with family, all things Christmas, impromptu gatherings, making huge breakfasts for hungry teenagers and their friends, and any time she could be with her grandchildren.
The only thing that rivaled her love for her grandchildren was her love for animals. Pets were always a part of Pat's life. She had many cats and dogs, chosen and inherited, all beloved (and spoiled). Her most recent dog, Rascal, held a special place in her heart. She grieved his loss deeply.
Relatives and friends are invited to greet her family on Wednesday evening from 6-8 PM at Koller Funeral Home, 6835 Ridge Ave. On Thursday, her family will receive guests beginning at 10 AM at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 819 Cathedral Road, Philadelphia. A Memorial Mass will follow at 11 AM. Interment is private.
