Lorraine KELLY Obituary
She is survived by her older son, Thomas P. Kelly and his spouse, Patricia C. Kelly; her younger son, Robert M. Kelly and his spouse, Janice M. Kelly; and two grandchildren, Matthew T. Kelly and Brianna N. Kelly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Elsie M. and Michael A. Zoschak; and her husband, Thomas C. Kelly.
Lorry was very active in her other "family," Community Presbyterian Church of Hampton, Va., and was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She never met a stranger and her favorite pastime, besides her church and her family, was talking to people she met.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in her honor be made to Community Presbyterian Church of Hampton, Va.
The family will receive friends from 6:30 to 8 p.m. tonight, at R. Hayden Smith Funeral Home. A funeral service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 21, 2009, at Community Presbyterian Church. The burial will take place in Peninsula Memorial Park, Newport News, with a reception immediately following at Community Presbyterian Church. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

I am sorry for your loss. She was a great neighbor and lady. I will miss our talks about her family and friends. When I would visit my mother's house, she would always come by and talk about all sorts of interesting things. She will be missed. Lance Wallen (Hampton Va.)
