Cindy KELLY Obituary

KELLY, Dr. Cindy Ann D.O. passed away September 1, 2023, in Tampa, Florida. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, she was the daughter of the late Thomas Clements and Melba Reynolds, survives, and step-parents, the late Wade Reynolds, Jr., and Norma Clements, survives. Cindy is also survived by her husband, Matt Kelly; children, Kaylan, Ayden, and Shelby Kelly; sister, Tracy Lee (Ryan); step-siblings, Debbie Dyer (Dan), Dawna Austin (Dan), Sarah Reynolds, Wendy Kieckhafer (Cully); numerous nieces and nephews. Cindy's passion for learning and dedication to service were evident in her educational journey and professional life. A proud graduate of Columbia High School in Lake City, Florida, she carried her thirst for knowledge to the University of Florida in Gainesville, and later the University of North Florida, where she earned her bachelor's degree. Cindy's devotion to the field of medicine led her to the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines, Iowa, where she earned her doctorate degree. Cindy spent her entire career of over 25 years serving her friends and family in Plant City and was dedicated to being a trusted and respected physician at Watson Clinic. Cindy was a member of the Plant City Church of God. She cherished spending time with her family, from memorable trips to Disney to cozy movie nights at home and loved the thrill of a good board game. Cindy was a woman who lived her life with open arms and a generous heart. She was friendly and gentle, always ready with a warm smile or a comforting word. We celebrate Cindy today, not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the light she brought into our lives. The family will be having a Memorial Service, 7 pm, Thursday, September 7, 2023, Plant City Church of God, 2103 Mud Lake Rd., Plant City FL 33566, with a visitation prior from 5-7 pm. Haught Funeral Home is entrusted with the services and condolences may be left for the family at haught.care.

When I meet Dr. Kelly, she immediately emphasized with me as a fellow breast cancer survivor. When I went for a regular checkup in 2016, she told me of her re-occurrence and we both cried. She said, humor me and get a chest X-ray today. She called me that night with the bad news. Later we both agreed that she saved my life. I´m still fighting the fight. When I last communicated with her, she was still fighting too. She said I was on her daily prayer list. I will miss those prayers. Today I received the clinic´s letter that she has gone to be with our Lord. God bless you, her dear family. She always spoke so lovingly and proudly of you. She continues to be a part of my journey as a great encourager, gifted physician and treasured sojourner.

In Christ´s love,
Debbie Bradley
