Kelly Cross Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
January 24, 1970 - July 5, 2025
Kelly Suzette Cross, 55, of Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, passed away on July 5, 2025.
Born on January 24, 1970, Kelly was known for her warm spirit, sense of humor, and unwavering love for her family. She found joy in the simple things-visiting with friends, getting lost in a good book, tending to a garden, the sweet smell of puppy breath, and most of all, spending time with her beloved grandchildren.
She is survived by her children, Alexander Saint James and Brianna (Damien) Lorenzo; her grandchildren, Bellamy, Sebastian, Este, and Novella Lorenzo; her brother Jimmy (Renee) Cross; her sister Sherry (Wayne) Brown; and a loving circle of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Kelly was preceded in death by her husband, Russell Smith; her parents, Bob and Gail Cross; and several angel grandbabies who now welcome her home.
Her legacy lives on in the laughter of her grandchildren, the stories shared by those who knew her, and the love she gave so freely.
