Doris was a true gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her limitless generosity, cheerful spirit, and steadfast faith enriched my life in countless ways. The support that she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Kelly, gave to homeless individuals and families in Montgomery County was an enduring example of selfless love. During my career with the Montgomery County Government, Doris and Dick were stalwart and tireless partners in our efforts to make life better for our homeless brothers and sisters who turned to us for help. May Doris rest in God's peace and light. It was a blessing to know her, Dick, and their family.
