Paul James Kieley, 67, of Leola, went to the arms of Jesus on Sunday, May 18, 2025. He was born on May 10, 1958 in Lancaster to the late John Sr. and Agnes (Kubala) Kieley. He was the loving husband of Grace (Brubaker) Kieley for 38 years.
Paul grew up in Marticville, where he worked on the family farm. He then became a landscaper and worked at Richter Precision for over 22 years. He enjoyed spending time with his family and camping at Assateague. He loved being outside, whether feeding the birds or just watching the world around him with his dogs. Paul was generous, an amazing Pawpaw and especially enjoyed going to yard sales, where he would always find treasures to gift to those closest to him.
Paul is survived by his daughters, Alicia and Olivia, wife of Brandon Jones, his grandchildren: Cecilia, Addilyn, Abel, Charlie, Nathaniel and Eliana and his sisters: Barbara (Jim) Underhill, Catherine Goncalves, Mary Jane Murr, Susan Bowser and Bobby Kieley.
In addition to his parents, Paul is preceded in death by his daughter, Cassandra Grace, his siblings, John Kieley, Jr., Patricia Alexander, Theresa Matthew, Elizabeth Harting and Margaret Kieley.
