Dr. Kellie Ann Cameron

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Kellie Ann Cameron, age 61, who entered into eternal glory on Monday, January 12, 2026, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Kellie was born in Waterbury, CT on February 3, 1964 to Margaret “Peggy” (Perrier) Cameron and the late John Joseph Cameron Jr. and had been a longtime Southington resident.

Kellie graduated from Southington High School, Class of 1982. After high school, she participated in Teen Missions and traveled to Jamaica and Washington, D.C. Upon her return home, Kellie enrolled in the Moody Bible Institute and received her bachelor’s degree in Theology. Kellie had a lifelong passion for learning and education. She worked in the medical field for 23 years while pursuing her Master’s degree in Finance. Kellie then continued on to Grand Canyon University, where she earned her Doctorate of Education; Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Healthcare Administration. She was also a licensed life coach and worked in the Southington School System as a substitute teacher.

Kellie was very talented and explored acting, writing screenplays and even wrote a book titled, “The Patient that Got Away,” that is an upcoming publication. She loved the beach and spending time with her very close-knit family. Above all else, Kellie dedicated her life to the Lord and spent every day devoting herself to serving the Lord.

“Well done, good and faithful servant…” Matthew 25:23
