Listed in Memorials
AUGUST 14, 1962 – MAY 22, 2024
Kelly was the most wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend.
After her courageous, yet graceful battle with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), our warrior, Kelly age 61, slipped away on May 22, 2024, in the arms of her soulmate and husband Mark of almost 41 years.
Beloved daughter of Pat and the late Jack. Daughter-in-law of the late Rene and Tom Murphy.
Dear sister of Mark (Colleen) and John (Sharon).
Dear sister-in-law of Linda, Tom (Dale), Cindy (Ian). Loving mother to her children, Jacqueline (Jay) and Andrew (Brianna).
She loved watching her grandchildren, Julia, Jonas, Ryley and Cole participate in their respective passions.
She will be sadly missed by many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends that were like family and the lacrosse community.
Kelly loved spending time in the kitchen creating gourmet meals with Mark and enjoying a glass of wine or two.
You could find her more times than not at lacrosse .
Most recently she celebrated a Provincial win with a team of young men she has watched grow for almost 10 years.
An uncanny ability to find joy and beauty in life, even when times were tough. During her battle with MSA she continued to fight for others as a Patient Advocate on the MSA Canada Board of Directors.
Forever helping others and with one last selfless act, she donated her brain to MSA research.
