Jan Kelly Obituary
Passed away on Jan. 29, 2021, after a courageous battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Jan is survived by her best friend and beloved mother Joan Kelly. Cherished sister of Danny (Sheree) Kelly, Cindy (Erik) Eldridge and Kris (Tony) Rampolla. Loving aunt to Mike and Steve Kelly, Dan Catlin, Erik II, Jakob, and Makie Eldridge, Joey and Kelly Rampolla and Charlie and Lily Kelly. She is preceded in death by her father Dennis Kelly. Jan grew up in Milwaukee, moved to Las Vegas and after almost 30 years found her way back to the Midwest to her family. Jan was a woman who enjoyed life and all the adventures she could have outdoors, traveling, and working on projects around the house. She was an avid sports fan, but most of all a Wisconsin sports fan, always cheering on the home teams and of course her nieces and nephews' various sports while they were growing up. Jan spoiled all her furry friends and loved spending time with her family most of all. Jan will be remembered most for her sense of humor. Even in her final days she was using it to put a smile on the faces of her care givers. We are forever grateful to St. Anne's Salvatorian Campus and Heartland Hospice for their compassionate care. Private family celebration of life will be held at a later date. "I'll never grow up!" - Jan Kelly
