Marquette
Kelly Anne Gentry, 57, of Marquette, passed away Sunday morning, September 21, 2025 at Norlite Nursing Center.
Kelly was born November 12, 1967 in Gwinn to Lawrence and Julie (Williamson) Gentry and graduated from Negaunee High School, Class of 1986.
Kelly bartended at numerous local establishments, including the Beau Chateau in her younger years, the Negaunee Eagles and most recently at the American Legion Greenwood Post #114. She was a talented artist, enjoyed reading and was an avid Green Bay Packers fan. More than anything, Kelly loved being with her family, especially her grandchildren.
Surviving are her son, Brandon (Amber) Gentry of Sault Ste. Marie, MI; her sister, Krystal Gentry of New Mexico; brother, Chris Gentry of California; her beloved grandchildren: Skyler, Patrick, Kayden, Draven, Aries, Serenity, Eli, Grace and Ayden; and a great-grandson, Nimkiinoodin. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Timothy and Kevin Gentry; and a nephew, Lashaun Welch.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Kelly's memorial page may be viewed at koskeyfuneralhome.com.
