Josephine (“Jodie”) Fahey, 93, of Kennett Square, died peacefully on Dec. 20, under the care of the staff at the Linden Hall Nursing Facility and Willow Tree Hospice. She was a life-long resident of Kennett and member of St. Patrick Church.

She was known for her amazing memory and knowledge of every aspect of her extended family’s lives, and honored her heritage by passing down a lifetime of family stories and possessions.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert E. and Kathryn Keating Fahey and a sister-in-law, Elizabeth Mullen Fahey. She is succeeded by a brother, Edward J. Fahey and his wife, Susan; three nieces, Susan Calio (James), Patricia Donmoyer (Larry), and Jane Orner (John); a nephew, Robert F. Fahey (Carolyn); two contemporary cousins, Msgr. Charles J. Fahey and James L. Keating; 10 great-nieces and nephews, and seven great-great nieces and nephews.
