Rose Kelly Obituary
KELLY, ROSE M. "In the end, we always arrive at the place where we are expected." Our Rose was expected elsewhere on July 31, 2010. She met her earthly departure with the same style, grace, and wit that she brought to her entire life. She collected friends like jewels, raised two beautiful daughters Georgia and Lucy, lived with Rob, the love of her life, for 33 years, counseled and soothed countless parents and children as Admissions Director and Assistant Head of St. Anne's Episcopal School, and was an accomplished artist. Also survived by her sister Serena Hubbell and 16 nieces and nephews. Godspeed Rose, your legacy lives on in our hearts and your art. Memorial service Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010, 9:30am at St. Anne's Episcopal School, 2701 S. York St., Denver 80210. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Rose Kelly Scholarship Fund c/o St. Anne's Episcopal School.

To Rob, Georgia and Lucy,
I so sadly miss the times I was priveleged to spend with dear Rose. We met and often spoke about deeper truths, her incredible journaling and trips, especially the last one to Spain. Clients of mine attended her journal making class and that was a great joy. Rob please call me when you feel able. I would love to talk with you more.

Rose was/is my best friend for 24 years. She was unaware of most of the things I learned from her, the most important being how to laugh at myself. Rob, Lucy and Georgia: I have no choice but to transfer my infinite love for Rose to the three of you. Ro: MYLYMI, Ran

Roses are known for their beauty and fragrance...This Rose lived up to her name. She was a joy to know and so full of love. She will live on in our hearts as a continual blessing. May she rejoice in the joy of the Lord and may her family find comfort in knowing that she was loved by so many. God bless, Linda RN
