Kyley Anne Perfetto

Kyley Anne Perfetto, 32, passed away on April 5, 2025, in Macon, Georgia. Her life was a testament to resilience, compassion, and unwavering faith. Kyley was baptized in 2018 and was a devoted member of New City Macon. Her love for Jesus guided her through life's challenges, and she found strength and community in her church family. She participated in mission trips to Guatemala and Uganda, reflecting her commitment to service and spiritual growth.

Kyley was a person who, when she smiled, could light up any room. Her laughter was infectious, and her kindness touched the lives of many. To know her was to know someone who loved fiercely, cared deeply, and was always there when you needed them most.

Sadly, Kyley faced battles that many of us will never fully understand. Addiction, a cruel and relentless struggle, became a part of her life, and despite her best efforts, it was a fight she could not win. Let us remember the way she loved, the way she dreamed, and the hope she still carried within her, even in her darkest moments.

A dedicated nurse, Kyley brought skill and deep compassion to her profession. She cared for her patients with kindness and empathy, always striving to ensure they felt valued and supported. Her impact extended beyond the clinical setting, touching lives through her heartfelt dedication.

Kyley was also a passionate weightlifter, earning recognition in CrossFit gyms across Georgia and Tennessee. Her drive and determination were evident in every pursuit she undertook.

She shared a special bond with her animals, especially her beloved dog Mojo, who preceded her in death and was her faithful companion through many of life's adventures.

Kyley is survived by her mother, Melissa Lauderbaugh of Erie; father and stepmother, Patrick and Valerie Perfetto of Melbourne, FL; siblings Amanda (Jeremey) Long, Robert (Hailey) Perfetto, and Secily Perfetto; paternal grandparents James and Karen Perfetto; maternal grandfather Donald Hartman; aunts and uncles Christina (Michael) Flanagan and Robert (Robyn) Perfetto; nieces Madison Colley and Mary Skladanowski; nephews Ayden Weaver and Luca Perfetto; and many cousins who cherished her. She was preceded in death by her sister Gina Perfetto and maternal grandmother Mary-Lou Hartman.

Private services will be held in accordance with the family's wishes.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society of Decatur and Macon County, an organization close to Kyley's heart. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
