On May 1, 1965, Margaret Ann Davis (Meg) and I were married. Meg is Grace Kelly's niece and the Godmother of Princess Caroline, who, in turn, is Godmother to my eldest child, Richard. Meg's mother, Peggy, was Grace's eldest sister. This was a big "step-up" for me- a kid from the streets of New York City. I'm of Irish descent and, if you're Irish, we feel the two most famous Irish-American families are the Kennedy's and the Kelly's.

MARGARET CONLAN, SISTER OF GRACE AND JACK KELLY: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
Philadelphia Inquirer, The (PA) - Thursday, November 28, 1991
Deceased Name: MARGARET CONLAN, SISTER OF GRACE AND JACK KELLY

Margaret Conlan, 65, sister of the late actress Grace Kelly, died Saturday in Philadelphia after a long illness.

Mrs. Conlan, who grew up in Philadelphia and lived in the Fairmount neighborhood, was even more beautiful than her younger sister Grace, said her nephew John B. Kelly.

"She was probably the prettiest of all of them, even though Grace got the attention when she went to Hollywood," he said.

Known as Peggy, Mrs. Conlan was a philanthropist, giving money to at least two of the organizations her family supported: Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and the Vesper Boat Club. Her brother, Jack Kelly, who died in 1985, and her father, John Kelly, had won medals for rowing in the Olympics.

Mrs. Conlan graduated from the Stevens Academy, a high school that was in Germantown. She enjoyed the ocean and visiting the family's vacation home in Ocean City, N.J., her nephew said.

"She'd invent games," he recalled. "At family outings, she'd take photographs from newspapers and substitute faces. You had to guess who the face really belonged to. Sometimes the faces would belong to family members and she'd poke fun at them."

Mrs. Conlan's first marriage, to George L. Davis,  ended in divorce, as did her second marriage, to Eugene Conlan.

She is survived by her daughters from her first marriage, Margaret Rowe and Mary Lee Kenworthy; a sister, Lizanne LeVine, and eight grandchildren.

After services yesterday at the McIlvaine Funeral Home in East Falls, Mrs. Conlan was buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Cheltenham Township.
