Mary was born on February 8, 1952 in Iowa City, the daughter of Maurice and Kathryn Rummelhart Keeley. She attended St. Mary’s Elementary School, Central Junior High School and graduated from Regina High School. On June 7, 2002 Mary married Richard Irey.
Mary was employed at UIHC Hospital School, now known as the Center for Disabilites and Development, from 1977 to 2017. She was secretary to several administrators and later transferred to Human Resources. Mary loved her job providing services to the staff, patients, and their families, before her retirement.
If someone needed something, big or small, Mary made it her mission to make sure that their need was met.
Mary loved spending time with her grandchildren Patrick and Reagan and cheering on their activities. She enjoyed having drinks and laughs with friends, annual trips to Las Vegas with her best friend Dawn and providing birthday and holiday memories for her family were of most importance. Her smile would light up the room.
Mary attended Grace Community Church, where she worshipped and volunteered.
Survivors include her husband Richard of Coralville; her son, Sean Seaton and his children, Patrick and Reagan; siblings, Kathy Cornish, David Keeley (Darren Peterson), and Jean Keeley; niece, Elizabeth and nephews, Darryl and Steven; and extended family.
