Mary Kelly Obituary



Mary Helen Lucy Kelly

Resident of San Jose

Left us late Saturday evening, only a few years after Alzheimer's Disease interfered with her contagious sense of humor, insatiable passion for cleaning, and hopeless See's Candy addiction. Though Mary's condition gradually worsened, her exceptional and unconditional love for her family, especially her two grandsons, never faltered.

Mary will never be forgotten by her husband George, her daughters Kathy and Maureen, her son-in-laws Rob and Ernie, and her beloved grandsons, Bobby and Tom.

Friends and family are invited to a visitation and rosary on Friday, November 5, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary, 466 North Winchester Blvd., and funeral service on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., at the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery, Saint Joseph Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, please send donations directly to the Alzheimer's Association, (checks made payable to "Alzheimer's Association" with "In Memory of Mary Kelly" in the memo line, 1060 La Avenida, Mountain View, California 94043).

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
