Kelley Jo Kennedy, age 59, of Neenah, Wisconsin, passed away on November 4, 2024. Kelley was a beloved mother, devoted friend, and a caring soul whose presence will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Kelley completed her studies in radiologic technology, bringing dedication and compassion to her work. In her personal life, she found joy in simple pleasures that filled her home with warmth and laughter. A devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers, she rarely missed a game and cheered with true Wisconsin pride. Kelley also loved decorating for every holiday, filling each season with touches of celebration and spirit. Her greatest pride and joy, however, were her children. Kelley’s love for them was unconditional, and she was incredibly proud of the people they have become. She was also a devoted dog lover, especially to her cherished pitbulls, who brought her companionship and joy.

Kelley is survived by her children Braeden Harris (Sammi), Gannon Harris (Maria), and Tyson Kennedy. She also is survived by her grandson, Carter Harris (Braeden). She is survived by her mother, Linda Kennedy Clarey (Chuck) and her sister, Sherry Kennedy. Her nephew Skyler Brantley (Kelsey) and her nieces McKenzie Mayfield (Emil), and Kennedy Brantley. She had many cousins and dear friends that will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her son Logan Harris, and her father Terrance Kennedy.

In keeping with her wishes, a private family service will be held to honor Kelley’s memory. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor her are invited to make a donation to the Animal Humane Society. Kelley’s warmth, humor, and steadfast love for her family will be remembered always.
