Laurine Kelly

1947 - 2018

On November 7, 2018 Laurine Kelly peacefully passed away at the age of 71 with her family and friends lovingly by her side.
To all who knew her, Laurine was a good friend and always excited to spend quality time together hosting a dinner gathering. Residing in the Sault for over 40 years, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Individualized Studies from Lake Superior State University. She continued her career fulfilling many different roles at the university until retirement.
While her list of duties and successes are vast, her greatest accomplishment was as dedicated mother to Kimberly and Shawn. For those who knew Laurine, they knew her peace. She enjoyed connecting with nature and spending time outdoors breathing in the fresh air through various activities like snow shoeing, walking, birdwatching and cross-country skiing. She dedicated time to her church, prayer groups, and choir. She kept a healthy life balance with her yoga practice, dancing and cooking. Many hours were given through her charitable work at the Hospice House, which also became her final resting place.
She was a lover of animals and spent her days with her best pals Ruba and Ubu. She was a joy to her friends and a blessing to her family and proved that life should be lived fully.
Laurine is survived by son, Shawn (Karen Dinter) Kelly; daughter, Kimberly (Rich) Dale; sister, Janet (Donald) Winarski; three grandchildren: Clarissa Kelly, Shawn Kelly and Alexa Dale; and one great-grandchild Zoey Kelly. She is also survived by many cousins, aunt, uncles, nieces, nephews and countless friends.
She is predeceased by her parents Sophie and Joseph Rosiek.
