Carol Yvonne Kelly, 65 of Rochester Township, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 4, 2017. She was a heart transplant recipient, whose life was blessed by the gift of the donor and family, as wells as the care and skill of doctors and staff at Allegheny General Hospital.

During her years of employment she had worked as in accounting support for Sears and Sheline Accounting Services. Carol was also employed by R.J.
