Lois Marie Keefe
November 17, 1938 — April 23, 2022
Ms. Lois Marie Keefe of Norwood, MA passed away on April 23, 2022. She was the daughter of the late Daniel J. and Edna B. Keefe, born November 17, 1938 in Milton, Massachusetts. She attended Milton public schools and was a graduate of Holy Cross Academy and Framingham State University.
Lois was a lifelong educator, beginning her professional career in Middleton, CT and then dedicating herself to the students at the Cleveland School in Norwood, MA until her retirement.
She was a gifted athlete and outdoor sports enthusiast. Lois spent more than 30 years associated with Camp SE-SA-MA-CA in Raymond, NH as a camper, counselor and director. Although Lois enjoyed a variety of sports from basketball, bowling, fishing and sailing, her true passion was the game of golf.
She was a longtime member at Walpole Country Club and was honored by the WGAM in 2017, along with her friend Agnes Dauphinais with the May Jackson Award, which honors outstanding women who have contributed to the growth and continuity of the WGAM. Lois was a Massachusetts Women's Golf State Champion in 1980,1981 and 1986 and had several holes-in-one, but the real number will never be known as she may not have told a broad audience in order to circumvent the "drinks for everyone" tradition!
Her life will be celebrated by her family: Her brother Kevin M. Keefe of Winchester, MA, her sister-in-law Elinor A. Keefe of Natick, MA and her seven nieces and nephews and their families. She was predeceased by her sister Nancy K. Hirschberg of Larchmont, NY, Daniel J. Keefe II of Natick, MA and her partner-in-crime Agnes M. Dauphinais of Norwood, MA.
Visiting hours will be Thursday, April 28 at the Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home at 1248 Washington St. in Norwood from 4-7 pm. Funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday at St. Catherine of Siena, 547 Washington Street, Norwood. Burial will be held at Milton Cemetery, 211 Centre Street Milton, MA immediately following the funeral mass. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Tee, a youth development organization providing golf-based personal growth programs to the Bay State's underprivileged and at-risk youth. www.firstteemass.org
