Kelly Jean was a devoted and endlessly loving mother, wife, and daughter. She was truly the core and guiding light of her family. She touched many people with her kindness, love, and support. She was a living angel. Memorial services were held Wednesday, June 10 at the Bethel United Methodist Church in Lewes, and a celebration of her life took place at The Glade Community Clubhouse immediately following her service.
