Shirley Anne Kelly's Obituary
Shirley Anne Kelly (nee Russell), age 86 of Mantua Twp, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, Monday, March 25, 2024. She was born June 30, 1937 in Niagara Falls, NY to Ernest and Ann (Confer) Russell (both deceased).
Shirley graduated from Niagara Falls High School in 1956 and in 1958 she married her high school sweetheart and husband of 60 years, Charles R. Kelly. In the early years of their marriage, Shirley traveled along with her husband as he served in the military to his stationed bases in Texas and Colorado. Later, in her retired years, Shirley enjoyed traveling and sitting on the front porch, but her greatest joy was spending time with her husband and her family.
Shirley is survived by her children Cameron Kelly (Francisco) of Miami, Fl and Shiela Galus (Phil) of Mantua; a sister, Kathleen McKinney (Michael) of Niagara Falls, NY and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a sister Barbara Chew (the late Bill).
Abiding by her wishes, no visitation or services will be held. Cremation has taken place.
