Barbara P. Kelly

Barbara Patricia Kelly, 86, of Warwick, Rhode Island, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Thursday, December 11, 2025. She was the devoted wife of the late Edward J. Kelly.
Born in Escatawpa, Mississippi, Barbara had a successful career at Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Outside of her professional life, Barbara embraced the simple joys. She found peace and passion working in her vegetable garden, enjoyed the adventure of traveling, and loved curling up with a good book. Above all else, she cherished spending time with her family, who were the center of her world.
Barbara is survived by her loving sons, Terry J. Kelly and his wife Donna, Britton E. Kelly and his wife Dawn, and Kent C. Kelly with his partner Jen Brock. She was the cherished grandmother of Mackenzie, Erica, Marcy, and Alex; as well as the beloved sister of Estelle Zangari.
A private burial will be held at a later date.
