Kelly Duncan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 31, 2026.
Preston - With grace and quiet courage, Kelly Diane (Silva) Duncan passed away on March 18, 2026, just two days before her birthday, held in the love of her family. Kelly lived life on her own terms, with a bold spirit and a voice that was always her own.

She will be very much missed by her sister Lorea (Marlene) Spath, daughter Chanté King, her husband Philip, and their children Luke and Madeline; her nephew Vance Spath, his wife Lainie, and their family; her niece Rebecca Stefanelli, her husband Gerald, and their children Anthony and Calla; and her niece Rachel Branch, her husband Ricky, and their daughter Madison; and her niece

She loved animals, especially dogs, and carried a strong sense of independence throughout her life. Even in later years, she continued to enjoy Broadway shows, creative projects, and time spent with family.

"Gmak" (Grandma Kelly) was her favorite title, and her grandchildren were her joy.

Kelly shared a close bond with her sister, whose care and support gave her many years of strength. She also found community in Preston, where she formed meaningful friendships, especially with Sally, and enjoyed her craft group.

A private service will be held in her honor. Kelly Duncan
