Rosemary Jane Kelly passed away peacefully on November 15, 2025, at the age of 79. Born in Port Huron on October 26, 1946, to the late Henry and Bernadine Farnsworth, Rosemary grew up surrounded by the love and laughter of her family.

Rosemary is survived by her loving husband as well as her children, Ranson Lee Kelly and Sheri Lynn (David) Horne; her grandchildren, Ranson Lee Jr., Kage David, Kayla Rose Jo, and Kolton Edward (Michael); her great-grandchildren, Peyton, Jaden, and Julian; and sisters, Judith Darby and Sharon Adolph. She was predeceased by her sisters, Linda Lou Sopha, Mary Ellen Burleigh, and Ethel Provost, and her brothers, David Farnsworth and Richard Farnsworth.
Rosemary's work history included years of dedicated service at a local 7-11, where her smile and friendly conversation became a comfort to regular customers and a welcome sight to travelers passing through. Her commitment to her work was paralleled only by her dedication to her family.
