Sylvia Kelly
2/27/1942 – 3/14/2025

Sylvia had a unique personality. Her impact on life was one of love and understanding; both of family and friends, and also “God’s little misunderstood animals.” She was on a quest to know her Maker in the most deepest and intimate ways, with a voice that pleased even the angels.

When she left her old shoes, and put on her glorified ones, she went to be with Jesus, leaving behind all who loved her. Truly a beacon of love, her last words, “I’ll see you on the other side.” We will miss you, Sylvia.

Sylvia is survived by her son, Patrick Kelly, her daughter, Tina Kelly, her sister, Barbara Ann Kite, and many loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Mike Kelly, her parents, Elizabeth and Oscar Driver, and her brothers, Howard and Gary river. The pallbearers will be Hunter Kite, Cody Kite, Justin Kite, Gabe Gaulden, Chris Ard, and Randy Ard.

A celebration of life will be held at Victory Assembly of God Church in Cantonment, Florida on Thursday, March 20, 2025. The viewing will begin at 11:00 am, followed by the funeral at 1:00 pm.
