Mark Edmund Kelley

Mark Edmund Kelley, former Stoughton Selectman and longtime Town Meeting Representative, died the day after his 58th birthday, Saturday, September 8, 2012, at Good Samaritan Medical Center following an extended illness. Mark lived his entire life in Stoughton and was active in political and social circles. He attended St. Mary's School in Stoughton and graduated from Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood. Following his graduation from Bentley College in Waltham with a degree in accounting, he held an executive tax position with Cumberland Farms, Inc., at its national headquarters in Canton. He will be remembered as a generous, gregarious, and family-oriented man, who embraced public service selflessly. No one was a more ardent fan of the New England Patriots football team. He was the son of the late Stoughton Town Moderator William J. Kelley Jr. and Leona Kelley. He is survived by his sister Pamela Murphy of Santa Monica, CA, and his brothers Dr. William J. Kelley III of Miami, FL, and Brian L. Kelley of Falmouth, MA, along with many nieces and nephews.
