Sonja Partin Kelley, 55, wife to the love of her life Keith Kelley, of Walhalla, entered the arms of her Heavenly Father on Thursday, October 2, 2025. A native of Oconee County, Mrs. Kelley was the beloved daughter of Linda Hopkins Partin and the late Scottie Lynn Partin. She was a proud graduate of the Walhalla High School class of 1988. She had a feisty spirit and a heart full of life. Her love was shared through the little things. Whether it was trips to the beach, working in her garden, or belting out a tune, she brought joy to everyone around her. In addition to her husband and mother, Mrs. Kelley is survived by her loving daughter: Savana Kelley (Wyatt Hughes). In addition to her father, Mrs. Kelley was preceded in death by her grandparents: Ernest and Ida Partin, and John Henry and Eve Mae Hopkins. A special thank you is extended to the caregivers and family members, Linda White and Denise Partin, as well as to all who stepped in to offer love, care, and support to Mrs. Kelley during her health transition. Your kindness and dedication are deeply appreciated. As the family follows Mrs. Kelley's wishes, no services will be held. The family is at the home.
