Terence B
Kiely
Feb 10, 1932 — Apr 30, 2018
STUART
Dr. Terence B. Kiely, D.D.S, longtime resident of Stuart, went to his heavenly home on April 30, 2018. He was surrounded by his loving family listening to his favorite Irish tunes and religious hymns.
Terry was born February 10, 1932 in Chicago, Illinois to George and Eva Kiely. He was a graduate of Hinsdale High School Class of '49, the University of Notre Dame Class of '53, and Northwestern University Dental School. After graduation, he proudly served his country for two years as a Captain of the United States Air Force.
After retiring from his dental practice in Stuart, Terry became a member of the Florida Board of Realtors, where he earned his broker and GRI license. Terry also served his community and enjoyed fellowship through his long association with the Stuart Rotary Club.
Terry's greatest past time was following his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. He was an accomplished tennis player and golfer and spent many happy days playing golf with his friends at Willoughby Golf Club.
Terry received a liver transplant through the University of Nebraska Omaha in 1989. He was forever grateful to the donor, without whom he would not have been able to enjoy 29 more happy years to watch his family grow.
The legacy that Terry leaves behind will live on in the hearts of his loving family, which includes his wife and best friend of 43 years, Sandra Kiely, son Kevin Kiely (Sherry), daughters Kathy Brotherton (Jim), Susie Ennis (Tom), Karen Fichtel (Ed), and Patty Kiely, grandchildren Patrick Kiely (April), Kelly Johnson (Tyler), Kyle Brotherton, Sean Ennis (Lindsay), Danny Ennis, Claire Fichtel, Matthew Fichtel, great grandchildren Madison Kiely, Owen and Evan Johnson, and a host of loving family members. Terry was predeceased by his parents and daughter, Wendy Kiely.
Throughout his life, Terry's deep Christian faith provided him with constant comfort and strength. His final words to his loved ones were to love each other and to love and trust in the Lord.
A funeral service in memory of Terry will be held on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at 10:30 AM at St. Andrew Catholic Church 2100 SE Cove Rd, Stuart, FL 34997. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Terry to Treasure Coast Hospice and Love and Hope in Action LAHIA.
